It's amazing. The bond of love will always be present. She took our love with her, and she left her love with us. Thank you, Dorothy. I love you. Sandy (Midget)

Linda Bonora

She was my hero. Although in constant pain, if you asked how she was doing, her answer would be, "I'm okay". She didn't let that pain stop her from doing what she wanted for as long as she could. I'll miss her forever.
