    I am best friends with Dorothy’s youngest son Isaac Jay Littlewhirlwind. I have known Isaac for 50 years since we were 8 years old. During that time I have gotten to know Dorothy and her family. She was a very kind and caring Mother. She loved her children very much and she set a good example for all of them to.follow.
