I would like to express my sympathy for your sad loss, I’m connected to the Bayliss family back through the generations in England.Dorothy’s husband Curtis’ grandfather Benjamin Bayliss was the brother of my great great grandmother Sarah.
I have known Dorothy for a long time, we worked together at Parkview, later at Dr. Hadley’s office and later at the State Hospital. I am so very sorry for your loss, She was a good friend and a great person.
I am acquainted with Eleanor Hattery and she wishes she could have seen her sister and attended the funeral.
