Description:
Dorothy died of breast cancer at the age of 43 but in those 43 years touched the lives of countless people. She is known in our family as the glue- the woman with the energy to keep everyone united and at peace. In the broader community of Southeastern Massachusetts, she is known as the woman who dedicated her life to developmentally disabled children and adults and after whom the Special Olympics relay race will be forever named. To me, she is known as the setting sun, best friend, mentor and pillar of strength, working 3 jobs as a single mom to teach her daughter she would accomplish anything. I am eternally grateful for her generous sharing of wisdom and a full 21 years of her company.
