I haven't had contact with Dorothy since East HS but I remember her well. She was a very nice person, always friendly and helpful.

My heart is broken at her passing. She was like a sister to me and inspired me every day with her laugh, love of all animals and determination to get things done right the first time (with a chuckle of course when they didn't).
Please know how much we all loved her and I will miss her terribly. The years I've known her will always be treasured in my heart.
Love to her family & friends,
Bev in Arlington, Virginia
