Dorothy was truly an original. A beautiful woman inside and out. I always admired her. She was my first boss when I embarked on my career in the business world. She was a role model and mentor and I am thankful that she, as well as Cathy, gave me a shot at the CBOT. She will be missed.

Dorothy was not only my good Friend, but also my Mentor at the Chicago Board of Trade. She taught me everything I know in business today. She was such a wonderful, beautiful, and fun-loving person. She will truly be missed by many. See you on the other side D!

My condolences to the Davis family for your loss. May God's Word and loyal love comfort you at this time (Psalm 136:23).

December 31, 2017

It is normal to grieve over the death of a loved one. Jesus' disciples mourned the death of their loved ones. (John 11:33-35, 38; Acts 8:2; 9:39) Instead, we view it as a time to show empathy.Romans 12:15.
