Dorothy was a dynamic woman who valued her family. She was a beautiful young woman who could have been a starlet. She maintained her principles and values always. Although I had a relatively short time with her, I enjoyed her humor and zest for life.

I know her immediate family will greatly miss her and I want to give heartfelt condolences. She will be missed. May she rest in peace and everyone close to her be comforted.
