We had some very special times with Dorothy. She actually flew up to VA to stay with us during Hurricane Rita two years ago, and we loved having her stay with us. One of our funniest memories of Dorothy was when I took her back to the airport in DC to fly back to Houston after the hurricane, and she gave the American Airlines agent her Republican National Committee membership card as her form of official identification. When he told her it wasn't considered an acceptable form of ID, she gave him a real tongue-lashing! It was so funny. She was really offended! It took us a long time before we finally found her driver's license in her purse (I was a little frantic, as she was still driving in Houston and I was concerned that maybe she didn't even HAVE a license anymore!). We now have her RNC membership card and look forward to framing it - it will be a great reminder of one of our funniest times with her.
We loved Dorothy very much, and she was like a mother to Gary. She will be missed greatly. We had a wonderful visit with her last August when we drove to Houston to see her, so I thought I'd share some pictures from that trip.
