Keeping A Heirloom Safe
Dorothy’s father enlisted in the military and served in the Pacific Islands, battling the Japanese forces, when World War II began. Before leaving, John Wilson handed his daughter a golden hair weave that belonged to his grandpa. He requested Dorothy to protect the family heirloom until he got back.
Losing Her Dad
Sadly, John Wilson was interred in a casket covered in the flag of the United States. The loss of the family patriarch and primary provider devastated the Wilson family. When her father passed away, Dorothy’s mother stayed distant, and she never found another man to share the remainder of her life with.
