It is with disbelief that I, today, learned of the passing of Dr. D.. 20 Years ago she was my son's doctor and in the last several years I became reacquainted with her while working out at Courts Plus. She was one of the most kind and compassionate women I have ever met. I am honored to have known her and will miss her presence very, very much.
