I did not know Dorothy but I worked with her eldest daughter inside the Department of Corrections (Cook County Jail, in Chicago). Michelle is a very caring women who gives alot of herself to others and if her mom (Dorothy) is anything like her daughter, than I truly believe that I have met her mom, Dorothy, thru her. I wish Godspeed to her family and that one day they can rejoice with thier loved one so that not all seems lost. I promise, one day it will get better. But for now just know that Dorothy is with her maker and as a devoted member of the church she is happy and "is" with you all in some form, for now just know that she DOES love you all very much.
