Always so kind and compassionate, she was a class act to everyone who crossed her path. I will miss her dearly.

So very sorry to hear of the death of Dorothy. She was a lovely neighbor of ours over the past few years and she often would welcome our husky to her door for a pat on the head. She always greeted everyone with a smile and kind words. We spent many afternoons waving as she guided my gardening from her balcony and she watched the flowers bloom.
