 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO...

Dorothy Louise Moore Burford 1921-2007

Dorothy was the wife of  Bernice Burford, my grandfather Lester's brother.

Bernice and Dorothy had six children: Jerry, George, David, Sue, Mike, and Jeannie.

Here are a few comments my mother made about Aunt Dorothy when she was working on collecting information for the family history:

Wathada’s notes --

I have decided that Aunt Dorothy can't ever die! She knows everything about the Burford family but doesn't realize it.  When she dies, there won't be anybody else who knows all this stuff.  Jewels of information literally drop out of her mouth and she doesn't even know it... 

Aunt Dorothy cleared that up for me without me even asking about it.  She does that - it just rolls off her tongue... 

I wouldn't believe just anybody about that, but my Aunt Dorothy is the one who really told me about that, and I believe every word she says. One of the others just sort of hinted at it, but Dorothy tells things plain out and just like they are…

Nothing shocks or rattles Dorothy.  She looks life square in the face and just deals with it...
