Although I haven't seen Dorothy for a number of years, I thought of her often. She was such a lovely person and I especially remember her smile. So sorry to learn she was so sick. But now she is whole and healthy again and one day we will see each other again. My thoughts and prayers are with John and their family.

So sorry to know one of our classmates and a person we all appreciated has left this earth.  Dorothy had the most contagious smile and anyone that knew here was blessed with her great personality.   Prayers are with her family and may she rest in the arms of the saviour in eternal joy and peace

Dorothy died too soon and I know she will be missed greatly by all who knew her.  I knew her always to be upbeat and pleasant and always willing to help others.  May God comfort all of her family and He will take care of her until they see her again.

So sorry to hear of Dorothy's passing. We had been friends for a long time having both lived in downtown BF.  How fitting that she was born on Valentine's Day since, her smile and cheery personality spread love and warmth everywhere she went.  She is at peace now in God's loving hands. My sincere sympathy to John and their family.

I'll always remember Dorothy as kind and smart, with the dignity and humor of a true lady.  And what a smile!

Many of us used to meet at the library after school to do homework. Dorothy was one of the group that did this almost every day. A new student to our high school was a friend of mine and Dorothy wanted to desperately meet him. His name was Johnny Passalinqua. I introduced them in the library and you all know the rest. My prayers are with their families and friends.

So sorry to hear of Dorothy's passing.  She sat next to me in Ms Dougherty's Latin class where we did not DARE say a word after the bell rang.  Dorothy was always so friendly and wonderful.  My condolences to John.  Bernie Pokropsi Cymbor
