Grandma. I miss you so beyond belief. I wish you could see me now!

Dorothy played a significant role in my life and I remember her fondly often RIP dear friend

It was so nice to read, or reread, all of these memories of Mom. As the years pass I appreciate her vitality, her intellect, her humanity, more and more. She was a self-made woman, although she would disagree and say everything she was, was due to God.

I recall seeing Dorothy had a tattoo during our Peace Corps training in Botswana and thinking, ‘…this women is a free spirit who loves life!' That thought applied equally to both she and Clark. They were enthusiastic about living life creatively – and they didn't postpone it. They were perfect incarnations of ‘how' life should be lived, by contributing of themselves in so many ways, to make other's lives more ample.

I'm remembering Dorothy and Clark as the Mom and Pop of our Peace Corps group in Botswana. Their door was always open and we had great times in their home. I can tell their giving and love went way beyond that. They will be remembered...

Sorry but what a great life. I knew her in Botswana. C. Hanson

I remember her hospitality and friendship in Botswana as well as the wonderful reunions she and Clark threw for the returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Botswana in Angola, IN in 1980 and 1985. We had good times together, and she and Clark are both definitely missed.

Knew her only as Sam's Mom. After reading of Dorothy's many accomplishments, I have no doubt her legacy will continue to inspire for generations. Rest in peace Sam's Mom. . .

Mrs. Holtzman was a wonderful lady. She was always kind to me. Truly a warm an giving person.
