I was one of Dorothy's strongest supporters and she was one of mine. When I was president of the Miami Dade NAACP she ran and was elected First Vice President. She was devoted to helping her community and fighting for racial justice. We have lost a strong warrior. I along with so many others will miss her wise counsel and friendship. Brad Brown

My deepest condolences to the family of the late Dorothy. At Revelation 21:4 it gives us hope that all tears will be wiped from our eyes and the pain of losing our loved ones to death will be no more. May all find comfort thru the reading of the scriptures during this time of sorrow. Darlene C
