Our sweet Grandma Dorothy died this morning and has gone home to be with her dear husband, Allen. Dorothy was such a joy to be around and loved being with her family and friends. She never had a negative word to say and was truly a ray of sunshine.
I remember when I first met Dorothy and Papa. It was while I was dating Davis. We had Easter Brunch at their home. They are two of the most gracious people! My favorite memory of Dorothy and Papa was the trip we took down the middle fork on the Salmon River the summer after we were engaged. They were real troopers, Dorothy at 85 years old and Papa at 86 floating down the river, going over rapids, sleeping in a tent on the ground in freezing temperatures, and no bathroom facilities. It makes me smile everytime I think of this memory.
I enjoyed watching Davis with his Grandma. He loved her very much. These are some fun pictures that I have of him with his Grandma Dorothy! One of my favorites was on July 4 in 2006 when he went and picked up Dorothy and we decorated her wheelchair and Alexa's stroller and walked in our subdivision parade. What a fun morning that was! (As you can tell it was a very humid Texas morning!)
