I knew Dorothy, and she simply was one of the best people I've known, and I'll miss her smiles. "I am standing on the sea shore. A ship sails to the morning breeze and starts for the ocean. She is an object of beauty and I stand watching her till at last she fades on the horizon, and someone at my side says, "she is gone." Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all: she is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw her, and just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination. The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not her: and just at the moment when someone at my side says, "she is gone," there are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout, "there she comes" - and that is dying." Farewell, Dorothy. Hugs Cynthia

Our sympathy goes out to Mick and all of Dorothy's family. I (Sharon Robinson) remember growing up in Del Bonita and what a vibrant and giving person Dorothy was. I also remember her infectious laugh. We pray that all your wonderful memories sustain you now at this sad time and in the years to come
