The Brister family is so sorry to hear of the passing of Ms Dorothy and so proud to have known her. Clyde and Dorothy were the first ones to show up at our house when we moved in and Clyde brought his carpenter tools with him to help Daddy any way he could. Wonderful family. We count Ms Dorothy as one of the sweetest and kindest women that we have every met and Momma loved Ms Dorothy who was always smiling. May her family remember her always with joy and thankfulness. Wallace, Veronica, Janice
