    Dorothy was a wonderful woman. She provided us with her delicious home grown tomatos for many years. She and Tina had a special relationship. Aunt Dorothy will be truly missed.

    Dorothy was my very best friend in school and we graduated from Mangum High School together in 1952. She was always kind, smiling and fun loving. I lost contact with her for many years but saw her a few years ago. My husband and I did not know she was sick. We are heartbroken to hear of her death. Our deepest sympathy goes out to all her family and many friends.

    I have so many fond memories of Aunt Dorothy. My many visits to her home to pick up bags and bags of those yummy huge tomatos. I am so fortunate to have known her for all the years I did. She will truly be missed.
    Love Always, Tina
