Dorinda,
I am honored to have known you. From the moment my mother Carol, Pat, you and I started up the Scleroderma support group here in Tucson I knew what a wonderful person you were. Your smile brightened a room and your passion for helping others was contagious. I can only hope that one day I will be as good and loving a person as you are. Say hello to my son up there would you please.
Love, Fran Lieberman
Domingo, God bless you and yours.

Dorinda fought the hardest fight on this earth. Now she is in the arms of our Lord. I knew her on line through my sister in Virginia Beach VA who also is fighting this dread disease. My prayers have been with you all for your grief in missing such a wonderful person.

To Domingo and Dorinda's family: My sincere sympathies go out to all of you. I never knew Dorinda in person, but I knew who she was. I remember going to school with her brothers...Jason being in my class. She looked like a very happy and innocent, young woman. She will be in my thoughts and prayers.

With deepest sympathy... Words cannot express the pain i feel you all who loved Dorinda and knew her love for everyone around her. She fought with such grace and strength and can only leave this world with such a lasting impression. Dorinda brought knowledge to those who knew little or nothing of her disease and the education of her struggle will inspire more effort and research to save lives in the future. What ultimatley claimed her life, will not be a life claimed in vain. With her infinite strength and beautiful spirit she will never be forgotten.

Dorinda I can't even start to put into words how heartbroken I am and how much I miss you. You knew me better than everyone in our life and you were always there for me no matter what was going on in yours. I am such a blessed person to have been able to have you in my life. My heart will never be complete with you gone. I love you.
Your Sister, Heather

Domingo, I find myself at searching for the words...

Saying I am sorry does not seem to be enough.

A strength lies within you many have not had the life experience to evoke and dread the day when they too will share in this experience of life and loss .

I pray, life may be as kind you as you were to each other.
May compassionate eyes fall upon you.

An unselfish man opens his heart to love knowing is there no love without loss and you chose to love....

My Deepest Sympathy goes out to the family of who I know as "goofyrinda" on Myspace.
This disease is so unfair and has taken a beautiful young lady from all who knew and loved her.
Please know that she is now no longer suffering and someday we will all see her again in Heaven.
I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
~soft hugs~

Dorinda,
You always made me laugh. You helped me with my son Ramon, I will never forget that. Goofyrinda, I will always love you and you will always be in my prayers and my heart.
Domingo, she loved you and found her soul mate in you. We had many fun times and great memories. I am honored that I had a priviledge to be one of her friends in high school, I am only saddened that I didn't keep in closer contact with her. Myspace was the only place I could write her and see how beautiful her life was with you. Please know that I am sending my deepest sympathy to you and your family as well as hers.

I am so sorry I never got to know Dorinda. My heart aches for her family from halfway across the country. However, we were connected by the unforgivable disease, Scleroderma.

Dorinda and her family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless You.

Dorinda, you had the biggest impact on my life growing up. You taught me there is so much more out there. I feel safe to know that you're always going to be watching over us. I love you my friend, we'll see each other again.

Dorinda- although the time was brief, it was an honor to have met you. Your strength was inspirational, and you will always be remembered.

I did not know Dorinda personally, but knew her as a wonderful on-line friend.

I give my sincere sympathy to her husband, and her 2 cats. It's good that Mikey is in heaven to be with her (smile).

Hubby, when you see her kitty each day, you will think of her in a special way. Give that kitty and her family the love that you two shared.

Well, I'm in tears now. But she is in a better place now.

As our saying goes *soft hugs* to each and every member of her family and in-person friends.
