Dear members of the Morris family,
Please accept my condolences during this time of sadness. I remember Dorothy diligently taking minutes at the weekly meetings of the South Boston Arts Association. I no longer reside in S. Boston but I am sure she is already sorely missed by everyone who was or is part of that community. Peace to all of you as you mourn Dorothy´s absence but celebrate her life well lived and her passage to a better place.
