That happens a lot for those of us who are 60ish. And I don't report back on many of them, just the friends who deserve more than honorable mention in life, those who enjoyed life despite its adversities and those who we only thought we knew.</div> <bR> <div> Dorothy Sandro who died at 72 is all of the above. </div> <bR> <div> Dorothy and her husband Orlan have been my neighbors at the lake since day one. They owned the bare lot next door. Orlan sold me the one I've had ever since. In fact, we were each others only neighbors for a number of as we watched each others family trees develop, as kids went from bikes and kneeboards to ATVs and jet skis, from engaged to married, to grandchildren, half of whom are already in or through college. </div> <bR> <div>  Dorothy Sandro - This life cycle was Dorothy's life. No fancy trips around the world or to California...just family. As a nosy neighbor, I sort of kept track of it all. There was a ritual to it. Dorothy would be at the cabin on Friday getting it ready for the onslaught of kids, grandkids and friends. Then she would mostly clear out, except for the occasional food run from her house in town, the corner of which you could see from their lake home when the leaves were down. </div> <bR> <div> Sunday evening, the kids would clear out. Monday morning, there was Dorothy in her perfectly primped and kerchiefed hair and jumpsuit armed with mops and brooms and buckets. She would disappear inside all day, coming out about suppertime, having gotten the place ready for the next weekend blitz. But it's the end of Dorothy's life that is the most notable. You see, she was always a frail looking woman, especially in the last years when Lupus, one of those autoimmune diseases that attack your body, took hold. In the last couple of years, a simple ingrown toenail led to the amputation of a leg and seemingly endless pain, surgery and trips to the hospital. She still hopped around cooking and cleaning and entertaining friends. Then she lost the other leg. She still didn't give up. Then came a blockbuster of a stroke that brought the kids running to her bedside. A day later she was eating breakfast and demanding to go home. Finally, the Lupus led the infection into her bones and her kidneys. The doctors said there was nothing more they could do. Dorothy told daughter Darice how she wanted her hair done and which dress she wanted for her funeral. Dorothy, faced reality...16 years after her doctors told her she had no more than five years to live. I guess she had a lot to live for and saw her job as finished having raised a family of good citizens with good values. </div> <bR> <div> As one of her doctors put it, Dorothy was 800 pounds of strength in an 80-pound body, a strength that only she knew she had.
