A special thank you for all the prayers and to Dr. Kanaan (oncologist) and his staff; Cathryn Brown, PA; Dr. Lilit Sargsyan, Dr. Jung, nurse Neal, and other medical staff of Memorial Hermann and St. Lukes Hospitals as well as the team of Harbor Hospice (namely Chioma) who provided excellent care for our sister, friend, neighbor and wife. Donations can be made to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society @ LLS.org or to a charity of your choosing in Dorothy's honor. Dorothy loved nature so Sierra Club, Texas Conservation Alliance, Audubon Society are certainly worthy causes and she would be appreciative.
