Dorothea was a dear and caring friend to me, starting in second grade at St.John's and away from home at Brownie Camp. Even then, it was in her nature to offer sympathy, support, and help. She was kind and generous and always spoke the truth. I'm glad she had such a wonderful family and am so sorry for your loss.
