Not sure what to say?

I remember Sister Dorothy as Dot, Mandy's fun loving mom, who was full of life, love and laughter. She had done some amazing things by the time I lost touch in the late 70's, and it seems the last 30 years were no different. My deepest sympathies to Mandy and Mark.

Sister Dorothy came into my life at my lowest moment. My son Donald, a Philadelphia Police Officer, had been shot in the line of duty. He was critical. Sister was the chaplain at HUP and for five weeks helped our family on a daily basis. Her love and concern for our family didn't stop there. We formed a bond and that bond will be with me until the day I die. I know that Sister is at home and resting peacefully in the Arms of her dear Lord. My sincere condolences go out to her children...

Dorothy was a living angle during the years that I knew her. Her love and compassion made her very special and sometimes essential to those who knew her. Many times I saw how she could soften a tragedy and knew after, that God blessed us.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sister Dorothy was a wonderful, kind, generous and loving person. She had a great sense of humor and could keep you entertained with her wonderful stories. She was such a great friend. We truly miss her but she no longer suffers in any way.
