Reading about the loss of Dorothy brought back so many memories of the times we spent together. Dorothy was always upbeat and a fun friend. We worked together, attended seminars together, roomed together, and shared the same friends. She loved her church and her family. Although we didn't see each other after our retirement, the memories will always remain with me. I send love and sympathy to Mac and all the family during this time of grief. Dorothy has a special place in Heaven.
