I still look for the Advent candles to appear in your windows from across the street. Miss you.

Dorothy was a member of our Paint Branch Ladies League for many years. We remember her fondly. She played when should could--and we still talk about her. Dorothy always says to take time with the putt. Let another go first!

I have a card with memories and condolences that I sent to her address and it was returned by the post office. I would like to send it to one of her daughters. If you could contact me. I am Nancy, a golf friend from Paint Branch. My number is 410-570-0059. Thank you so much.

Dorothy was a lovely woman and she will be missed by all who knew her. She was also an inspiration to all of us golfers. My deepest sympathy to her family.

If smiles are each worth a penny, then we are all much richer for the smiles that Cousin Dorothy has bestowed upon us. This lady could really throw a party and I know that she is a headlining a celebration at her homecoming in heaven. May God bless you, Cuz, as the many seeds of joy you have planted on this side continue to spread your legacy,

I wish to extend my sincere and deepest sympathies to the family of Dorothy Miller. As a long-time neighbor and friend of over 50 years, it´s very hard to look over to her home and know she is not there. SO many memories-watching her as she´d come and go in her Honda Accord; or when she carefully shoveled her walkway; and her love of her Bonsai, Japanese Maple, and Akosua Dogwood trees. The memory that´s with me now is of the 4 single electric candles she´d place in her front windows for Advent. One in each window until all 4 were lit for Christmas. They´d come on every evening until midnight. Then out for good-until next year--on midnight of New Year´s Eve or New Year´s Day.
So, it´s hard to look across the street and not see her lights there-except now they´re in my memories
