I read all the entries in her obituary and was moved by what you had to say about her telling someone that she was an enlightened want-to-be. I think she was enlightened definitely! I will miss her smile, humor and goodwill that she had such an abundance of, and never hesitated to share among those she met. I had so many wonderful conversations with her and was looking forward to so many more. Im proud that one of my photos is on this memorial and will always remember the wonderful time we all had when that was taken.

I will miss nudging Dorothy to stay awake through the critiques. She was and remains loved by so many.

I didn't see this until now, but what a perfect sentiment!! Vicki truly did light up a room the moment she entered it and kept people captivated the entire time!! I am so blessed to have had the privilege to be her friend for so many years. I miss you, Vic!! It's like part of me went with her because I still feel dazed and confused. Every now and then I stop and wonder... How could this have happened? But then I realize as big a light she was to us all here on earth... Can you imagine how wonderous she is with wings? I will always love my best friend and I am glad she isn't suffering any more. It is our turn to suffer for awhile as we learn to live without her... But we will prevail because Vicki showed us courage, strength and wisdom. I will miss her until I see her again! Wow… I didn’t see this until now, but what a perfect sentiment!!

Unfortunately I heard about it when it was too late for me to attend the services and celebration, I would loved to have been there. I met Dorothy many years ago through the Vienna Arts Society, I took classes with her and learned a lot about painting portraits in watercolor. Dorothy was one of the kindest and most caring people I have ever met. She was very generous with her knowledge of art, and I learned a lot from her, she encouraged me to keep painting and experimenting. We kept in touch from time to time, she took me to Baltimore to visit the Schuler School and I am so regretting that I hadn't seen her recently and was not aware she was sick. My thoughts and wishes go to her family in this sad time. I was honored to have known her. Susan Webster I am so sad at this news.

I can't believe she died so young. She was always my partner when we played against Mom & Dad in cutthroat canasta. Wendy was my sister. She was 5 years older than me.

My life is forever changed because of you. I don't say this lightly. I know I am not alone in feeling this deep sense of loss since your passing. We had a meteoric journey that bonded us together so quickly and I will cherish it for the rest of my life and keep you alive by sharing stories about you. Thank you for letting me in and trusting me to be by you and your family throughout it all. I have made more life changing friendships through it and thank you for that as well. I'm still in disbelief but will learn to live with the gaping hole in my heart and I know for a fact that time will heal it eventually. Please continue to visit me in my dreams. ILTSOY!
