This note is from Gen Norton’s daughter, Joann. I knew Lois and Dorothy and had thought of these two special ladies so often. My Mom, Gen, lived with Dorothy when my Mom worked at Robinson’s Pharmacy. I am saddened by your loss and so wish I had not lost contact with Lois and Dorothy. Please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss.
