I'm so sorry to hear of Dorothy's passing. I will always remember Dorothy fondly. I loved her sense of humour and her sarcastic wit. I remember one time when she looked cold I asked her if she wanted me to warm her up with a blanket and she said "just your smile warms me up". Dorothy will forever live with me as I use her unique response to how are you? "Average-good". I hope your memories of Dorothy bring joy to your hearts. - Posted by: Vanessa (Employee of Shalom) on: Aug 03, 2022
