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.

Dorothy was like a mother to me whose warm hugs always brightened my day. She loved watching me work in the garden and really appreciated all the effort I put into brightening her landscape. Always so kind and compassionate, she was a class act to everyone who crossed her path. I will miss her dearly.
