What a privilege to have known such a magnificant person. Incredibly bright, beautiful, witty and caring to all. The only person I knew who could give Dorothy a run for her money at the bridge table was her good friend, my mother, Pauline. Dorothy will always have a special place in my heart and I look forward to seeing her again on the other side. Daniel Bader

A new star in Heaven today, named Dorothy--a very gentle lady, and my wonderful friend. She will be missed by all who knew her.
