Not sure what to say?

I'm so sorry for ur loss

After watching Hidden Figures several times these past few years and reading about Ms. Vaughn´s life, I continue to be amazed and inspired. May she rest in peace and continue to serve as a great role model.

...

She was a great activist for the naca program and a great researcher. thank you, dorothy.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

So sorry to hear of your loss of your loved one. May God comfort and help you cope during this difficult time.

Thank you, Dr Vaughn for your achievements , perseverance and fortitude. It humbles me to know your story and how you did not let anything stop you from achieving all that you have achieved. You paved the way for the Hidden Figures in NASA by learning Fortran and making your jobs possible and you have paved the way in history forever, by teaching values by example. May you Rest In Peace.

thank you!!!!!!!

thank you you have shoed me to never give up and that being a woman is the best thing I could be.
