I worked for Dorothy's husband years ago. My husband & I became friends with them & we were welcomed into their beautiful homes many times for parties, etc. Dorothy was a beautiful, vivacious & loving lady with a sparkle in her eyes, a smile on her face, and a positive outlook on life. It was wonderful, fun & warm to be in her presence. I have missed her for many years, and my husband and I are both sad to hear of her passing. Our sympathy to her family & friends. She will live on in our hearts and memories forever.
