My heart hurts for all her family! Dorothy and Norm were like grandparents to me and my siblings. They were beautiful, thoughtful, kind....we are ever so grateful to have known them and have them in our lives.

I want to express my deepest condolences. I worked many years with Dorothy. She was more than my boss, but a friend too. She was a one of a kind. I will miss her.
