Dorothy,
I feel extremely lucky to have known you for the past 15 years. I will certainly miss seeing you and miss your passion for helping the little dogs of the world who truly needed you. We had many nice visits, exchanging recipes and telling stories–times I will never forget. I know the world has been a better place with you in it. You will certainly be missed!!!
