I met Dorothy after I started working for Aetna (1/1986) in Phoenix. She worked in my department and she always came in with a warm and beautiful smile. One day she came in with a homemade chocolate cake. It was the best I ever tasted. Dorth, when we meet again, I hope you have one of those cakes made. May God’s angels surround you with their happiness. You will be missed. Your friend and ex co-worker.
What a special person she was. It was so nice to see her in April as she so kindly came to Norman’s visitation. So glad I got a little visit with her than as it had been years. Rest in the loving arms of Jesus.
