“I am very sorry to learn of Dorothy's passing! We were coworkers at the Department of Finance and Administration when I was in college. She was always so kind to me and took me under her wing like she'd known me forever. I am sad to find this out almost a year later. I offer my sincere condolences and prayers to her family. She loved Gemayel dearly, he was all she talked about at work! God bless to her surviving family.”
