I live at the Hillcrest Grand Lodge, Papillion, NE where Dorothy Sue also lived and occasionally would ride with her on trips to the doctors. I discovered on those trips that she had a fondness for Red Bud trees so I would call her the “Red Bud” lady. Dorothy Sue was an enjoyable lady to visit with and I will miss our trips in the Hillcrest limousine. May her soul Rest In Peace. Ken Herman.
