I loved Dorothy! I have had the opportunity to visit with Dorothy as I cleaned her teeth. She had such excitement for life and is an inspiration to me to live my life to the fullest. I visited her at the Rock Ledge Ranch and enjoyed her contribution to history of our area. She truly lived life to its fullest. My deepest sympathy for your loss. Sue Bruner

Dot will be missed at Saddleback - she was truly a blessing as a friend and a wonderful neighbor. I know she is with our Lord and we will see her again.

Bill and Dorothy were neighbors and friends of ours on Lee Street in Bethalto, Il. Dorothy was always thinking of things us kids could do for fun. She fed us Kool-aid and made her own slip-and-slide for us. I especially remember her smile and great laugh. She was a life long friend of my Mother and Dad. The Stephenson family considers the Cains as family. Dorothy will be greatly missed. My condolences to Brett, Scott, Craig and Carla and their families.

I had the pleasure of working with Dorothy almost 3 years at Re/Max Properties. Dorothy was a very happy person I could see. Always smiling and talking with people. I remember running into her at the grocery store and we spoke for over 15 minutes, she had a big heart. Dorothy will be greatly missed. Fly high with the angels Dorothy.

I knew Dorothy from when I worked the front desk at RE/MAX Properties. What a great lady! She was full of life and spunk and every time I saw her she put a smile on my face. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss.

Dorothy was a delight to know at the Saddleback Townhomes and a great help and advisor for some difficult times the HOA Board experienced with residents. So smart, strong, and savvy--may God bless your family at this sad time.

Dorothy and I met while training to be docents
at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. We were both widows.
We then met again at our church. Always fun. Her love of life and sharing her faith in action keeps us connected.
