My first connection with Dorothy was through her granddaughter, Tracie Boyle Ace (who shared maturing years with my daughter, Allison). When Tracie's mom, Mary Kay, styled my hair, we became friends forever. Though Dorothy's and my path crossed only a few times, I'm near her age and cherish her faith in God and family values. Eternal rest grant to her and let perpetual life shine upon her.
