Fremont, NE Saturday, April 20, 2013 Dorothy was such an elegant and graacious young lady. My mom used to say how nicely she was treated by her when she worked for her. I became very acquainted with her while she was at NYE Square, and saw her many times each day. She will be missed by many people. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
