In tribute to her, it was said, "To those of us who were privileged to have her as a friend, she was loyal and trustworthy, and there will be forever an empty place in our lives and hearts. And so, dear Dorothy, we say farewell with a poem found in your possession:
"The butterfly emerges from its silken shell
Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth
Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before
So do our loved ones find a beautiful release, as
Earthbound no more, they leave our sight
And joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty,
A place of light and peace."
—Evelyn Phillips
