From Pat Hairston Ross (Detroit) Dorothy was such a great friend for so long. She would visit me at mama's everyday when I moved back to Martinsville from West Virginia many years ago. And over the years we remained friends. She was such a nice person. I will miss her. My deepest sympathy to the family and I am sorry I couldn't be there.
