Well, our Christmas card was returned this year so I had a feeling our lovely Dot passed away. On behalf of (Frank) and Loretta Ivers and family, we wish to extend our sympathy to Dorothy's surviving family. Art, Irene and Dorothy were lifelong friends. They will all be remembered in our hearts and prayers. We have wonderful warm memories of times spent with them both here in Chicago and in New York and then New Jersey. Peace to them all.

Dorothy was a kind and lovely lady, and a friend to all who knew her here at Harrogate. I will miss her. My deepest sympathy to her family.

My name is Roger Wenzek, my stepmother was Ruth Wenzek, who resided in Harrogate for 10 yrs. and was a very close friend of Dorothy, as was myself and my wife Carole. Ruth was instrumental in Dorothy and her sister moving into Harrogate from Leisure Village West. The sisters loved it at Harrogate.
I always remember how much Dorothy liked Ruth's digital weather station, so I bought one for her. Each time the batteries went down, Dorothy would call Ruth, and then I would go to her apartment to replace the batteries.
Always font memories of Dorothy. She will be missed. Our sincere condolence.

Sorry for the loss of your love one, may you find comfort in knowing that those who have passed on in death God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. Psalms 116:15.
