Dorothy was an inspiration an role model. Her strength and belief in God led her thru the many challenges and sad difficulties of life. We have been friends for 40 years and I do believe we have become closer each year. We will miss her dearly, although we are comforted at the thought of her greeting us at the heavenly gates when it is our turn to make the journey.
