Dear Don and family, I just learned about Dorothy's death from an email from a LCMH classmate. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Dorothy was my room mate during nursing school. We continued to be friends since meeting in 1955. My daughter, Anonette, who met her at our LCMH reunions also sends her sympathy. I'll be thinking of you. Love & Prayers, Mary Hladik Houchins, Morganfield, KY
