Dorothy was my very special aunt. She was my mother’s sister and part of my l life forever.
(Isn’t it odd how WE feature in eulogies about someone who is no longer with us? Perhaps it’s natural to be struck by OUR loss.)
I’ve selected 2 photos of happy memories with Dorothy.
Dorothy and her sister Eleanor (my mother) used to meet at Gene’s and one year I joined them. I was so pleased to share in their special connection with Gene’s. That was one of the last times Eleanor went into “the city” (from Brooklyn) and possibly for Dorothy too (from Jersey City, where she spent most of her married life).
The second photo is of Dorothy with her finished canvaswork piece of a still life. She had it framed and the note she wrote on the back was to me on my 50th birthday.
In many ways Dorothy was more like an older sister as we were only about 13 years apart.
She introduced me to theater and musicals in the movies.
I will miss our long distance conversations until only recently (PA to Australia).
My dearest “Auntie”, you will always be with me in my memories.
