Life blesses us with special people that just exude warmth, love and compassion - Dorothy was one of those - she had a great sense of humor and was simply a joy to be around. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Heaven's gain. xoxox Ellen

Dorothy was a beautiful person inside and out. She had a great sense of humor and you always knew where you stood with her. She did not suffer fools in silence...we will miss her.
