My sincere condolences as you deal with your loss. I have many happy memories spending time with Dorothy and her brunch club. She was always one with a kind word to share or a song to be played lovingly on her violin. Her tenacity and spirit will live on in her family and friends with whom she shared so freely. Heaven just received a wonderful angel.
