Sorry for your loss. I remember Dorothy working at the Ambulatory Services registration desk at the New England Sinai Hospital when I was a child when the hospital had pediatric physical medicine & rehabilitation services. Mom, Dad and I always checked in with Dorothy and she gave us the slips for physical therapy, occupational therapy, physiatry, audiology and speech therapy. She was a very nice woman. Rest in peace, Dodo.

Rest In Peace, Dotty. Stephanie, I'm so sorry for your loss. I had daily contact with your mom when she worked at Draper's Purchasing Dept. She was a funny, friendly woman. She used an old-fashioned tickler system for my IT Dept. It worked like a charm! Once she left, we were at a loss.

Thinking of you at this difficult time.
