Each year the house was more decorated than the year before. Her Christmas goodies were always a family favorite and her homemade fudge was legendary. Dorothy and Ray loved to travel. It could be a simple trip to New Brighton Beach in Capitola, California, but they also didn't mind hopping on plane for Europe or the Caribbean. Dorothy preferred places warm and tropical and Hawaii was a favorite destination. Of everything she did and accomplished in her life being a grandmother to her two granddaughters made her the happiest.
