Dorothy was Waterside's national treasure. She will be missed be so many of us. I first met Dorothy and her husband Dick at a 'new neighbors' get together at the Waterside clubhouse. They warmly greeted all new neighbors. Dorothy had a way of making you feel welcomed and comfortable. You would never feel ill at ease with this dynamic lady. She was so much fun to be with and she was really witty. Dorothy called me about a month ago to see how I was doing and dealing with this shutdown. She said that she wanted to at least hear from her friends if she can't be with them. Yes, Dorothy was my friend and always will be. Someday we will be together and we will tell our stories and laugh again.
Because He Lives, so will I. Mollie kervin
