I am so sorry to hear about Dorothea. I worked with her at the Girl Scout Office and she was so much fun to work with. She was very kind to me when I became ill and could no longer work, although I did not want to leave my doctors said I had to. I still miss it. My love and prayers go out to all of you.
RIP Dorothea, you were one of a kind and will truly be missed. I am sure my mom Nancy was waiting to great you in heaven. I will never forget the fun hats your wore to GS camp. And I will always cherish the memory of you coming to visit us at out post camps brining us ice cream for those brownie sundaes. What a blessing you were to all those that knew you. You will truly be missed.
