Not sure what to say?

Dorothy was my art Education director when I started as an art teacher In Deland(1967). She was wonderful! She was so supportive. Dorothy was always so much fun to be with.I will cherish my memories of time spent with her.I'm sorry for your loss.

It was such a shock to hear of Dorthy's passing. Such a vibrant woman all the years. I have known her as a relative through Everett. When she visited Anne we tried to get together. I won't forget the last time how much she liked the restaurant, Salute's in the Richmond Marina. Have been waiting for her return so we can go again. It sounds as if she is quite a loss to the Florida community in the art world. May God's love and comfort be with Anne and the rest of the family who were all loved...

I'm not sure I can find enough words of praise for Dorothy Johnson. She had a unique capacity to inspire people to rise to their highest potential. She did so with grace and humor. Her contribution to this world lives on not only in her family but in the lives of the people she has touched. She will be greatly missed.
