Dorothy surely lived a long, busy, and productive life. Thanks for this wonderful obituary. I saw Dorothy as a mentor for me in the Yellowstone Methodist Conference.

I saw Dorothy's obituary last night and woke this morning dreaming of her--Brother Van's song--"Harvest Time"--"the seed I have scattered in springtime . . . Then palms of victory, crowns of glory . . .." was gloriously playing in my head. What a wonderful woman, wonderful family. I am thankful for her life and wish all of you the very, VERY best and much love.

Dorothy was costume designer for our production of Tartuffe. We had to template, cut and sew our own. It was a pleasure to spend time in the shop with her. Dorothy possesses those attributes: love, compassion, care, thoughtful, open, receptive and vibrant that I aspire to each day. Many Harper thoughts go out this day.
