To Dorothy's family,
My mother, Elaine Brinton, met Dorothy when she moved into the cul-de-sac in 1999. They spent many a time visiting, and eating many dinners with Mary and Thelma. They had a wonderful time. Dorothy was such a great friend and neighbor to my mom and I am sad to see she has passed on. I'm sure my mom is welcoming Dorothy right now up in heaven. I am in Denver today so I regret I will not be able to attend the funeral but be assured that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
