So sorry to hear about Dorothy, have known her since I was in high school, way back in the 50's. Her sister Marion and I were, and still are best friends.
Actually she got us back together, after losing touch for about 20 years. She was such a sweetheart and will be sadly missed. Condolences to all her family, especially Barb and Tom. Just talked to Marion, and she told me the sad news.
May she rest in Peace.

Dorothy's loving brother Theodore Carlton Fritz and his extended family celebrate Dorothy's wonderful life that enriched so many. We all treasure the precious time we shared together. We're pleased that Dorothy's spirit lives on in the many who survive her. A tree was dedicated as a living memorial to honor her life and her spirit and as a reminder to all to aspire to the heavens in everything they do. May God bless her soul and all those she loved.
