I was fortunate to reconnect with Dorothy who I admired in high school at a recent reunion. What a treat! My best to all the family. I know you have suffered a severe loss. May the Holy Trinity give you peace and love.

I wonder if Dorothy knew how impressive she was, what a role model she was for my sisters and me, and how much our mother loved her. She arrived in navy blue loafers, and tailored jumper, with an easy, familiar laugh, and a cigarette in hand. We each felt that we had always known her and she us. She had what all women want and all people need - a perfect balance of confidence and humility, of authority and gentleness, of devotion to God and a devil-may-care attitude. An entertainer and gatherer, she made all feel welcome and paid attention to the small details that leave lasting impressions. I will always be grateful to Dorothy and Parraine for visiting our mother when she was sick. That was medicine for the whole Nixon Family. Love, Emily
I have so many memories growing up 4 houses down from Mrs. Dorothy...spending many nights and playing days on end at her house with Marie. Her home was welcoming and fun, she was kind, smiling and I remember someone always coming over to get a shot from Mrs. Dorothy...I was always glad it wasn't me! I just got to play, eat pop tarts and be a kid with Marie, Rachel, Lisa and little Elizabeth. I love picturing Mrs. Dorothy entering the gates of Heaven with Rachel running into her arms, laughing, rejoicing, celebrating Glory together and forevermore! All my love to you Marie, Lisa and Elizabeth...may you have the peace and hope we all share in knowing God's promises for eternity and the joy that flows from it.
