Dear Dorothy, I was so sad when I looked for you and found out you had gone. I don't believe in coincidences, especially after hearing a song I hadn't heard in years suddenly playing twice, bringing forth a remembrance of you which was so strong that it made me search for you. That is how I found you were no longer with us. I cried so much, and it felt so unfair to me. It touched me very deeply and it made me remember your innocence, beauty and your grace. You were so elegant and candid, and so much like a child in many ways! I have to tell you that I don't believe you knew your eyes would be closing for a last time. Your innocence and love made you trust someone who unfortunately took advantage of it. It's true we all make mistakes in life, but I believe he dictated, often without your knowledge, which paths you would both take. I pray to God that what you endured and the love you showed towards your relationship, until the end, helped to save his soul. Dorothy, I hold you in my heart. Although sometimes you portrayed yourself as someone distant, I remember your laughter and how sweet you truly were! You were a true Barbie, with a touch of innocence, glitter, elegance and charm, all of your own. I am honored to have met you and to have been one of your friends. I wish we would have remained in contact, but I know that from where you are you are blowing a kiss to my heart. I miss you, and send you lots of love. I will always remember you with tenderness in my heart. I thank your family for this obituary page and embrace them in their loss. And as for you Dorothy, I know I will see you again, where love is real and all tears are swept away. Ana.
