    I am a friend of Fred Ash and have been for 38 years. I met Dorothy several times at Fred and Allison’s house when they lived in Miami. I was very impressed with Dorothy’s attractiveness, wit, charm, and kindness. I am truly sorry this wonderful lady has passed. She left an impression on all those she met I am sure. Rest in peace Dorothy.
