To Dorthy's Son's & all their family:

My sincere condolences.I wish to express my gratitude for the influence your Mother continues to have in her spirit on My Son Joey... Love & Blessings Joey's Father Ben

I am very grateful for having known Dorothy. Her intelligence, wit, sense of adventure, determination and generosity were truly inspiring. And I so much appreciated her excitement when she learned of my recent pregnancy. Dorothy is forever missed, but never forgotten.

Marge and I will always remember Dorothy for her effervescent personality, unpredictability and love of life. Who can forget a 18 hole picnic in golf carts with clubs? Or a picnic in an Indian reservation oasis and jumping rocks in a stream after lunch?
We will miss you.

Dorothy will always be my second mom in my heart. She was a very kind and empathetic support when my own mom died. I will never forget you.

I will never forget meeting Dorothy while in school with you and putting in shelf covering in L.O!
She was a kind and generous soul who made the world a better place for all of us who knew her and know you. Among the tears, think of how special you are because of her. My deepest sympathy to all of you. Prayers and hugs, Sarah

Aunt Dorothy, you well always be in my heart , And I will love you forever . I will miss the Birthday song that you would sing every year. Birthdays won't be the same without hearing that song from you .

I was a fortunante individual to have spent time with your mom. She was truely a person who made friends easily.
My time with her will be remembered forever and she will be missed.
I tried several times recently to stop by the new home however she was not onsite. I regret not seeing her over the past few years.
You are in Debbies and my thoughts and prayers.
