    I loved Dorothy with all my heart. She was the kindest, sweetest, friend. She always was ready, for a hug, or a laugh,. and when she asked how you were, she meant it, she wanted to know if you needed anything. Dorothy seemed to have endless energy, caring for her beloved family and friends, making time to take a walk, gardening, the list is endless. I will miss her everyday. Love and prayers to all of her family.
