Dorothy was my Godmother. I remember her and the other ladies coming to our house occasionally to play Bridge. She had the most beautiful smile and laugh!
Dorothy, you will be missed.

My sincere condolences to Hank & all her "children." We were neighbors in the 60s & when I returned to visit in later years, Dorothy was so welcoming. She made the best frozen Peach Dacqueries ever. Thank you for your beautiful smiles, Dorothy.

She was the best grandma ever. She totally got me hooked on cool things like Buffalo chicken wings, mustard pretzels, and was always so quick with a fun Nursery Ryhme quote. Or song. Grams made the best pickled eggs. I will miss and love you always Grams.

All my memories of Dorothy are sweet and happy. She babysat for my parents when they lived in Irvine, was a pallbearer for little Tommy´s funeral and my Confirmation sponsor. My Mom loved her vivaciousness and she comforted me when Mom and Dad passed away. My deepest sympathy to all her family.

Years ago I spent many evenings with Dorothy playing bridge or sharing a glass of wine. She was one of the most intelligent woman I knew as well as owning a wonderful sense of humor and a kind heart. So many fond memories.
