I met Dorothy the first time Oct 26 1970 and kept in contact from 1986 -2010. I was not able to get in contact with her for the past decade. But still wished her well. Hoped we would have got together at least one more time. R I P Dorothy

I believe that Dorothy used to be my friend and roommate. I had lost touch with her. I remember good times and her contagious laugh. R.I.P.
