Dear Yolanda, Lydia and Family:

My family and I extend our most sincere and heartfelt sympathy on the recent passing of your mother Dorothy M. Roth. Dorothy has shown us all humility…that you can move mountains, one stone at a time…and she did. She made so many positive differences in so many lives, and more times than not, it was done “behind the scenes”…quietly, gently, but powerfully. Dorothy M. Roth walked humbly…and she did “great things” with tremendous grace. She never accepted how things were…the “status quo”…rather she always looked at how something could be made better, how an obstacle could be overcome to achieve the greater good. We can feel blessed when we have the opportunity to be influenced by someone like your mother who possessed such a great and kind spirit. These influences do not end when earthly life does. Taking on new dimensions, these influences go on and possibly in more powerful ways than we can even comprehend. Dorothy M. Roth was a true treasure and will be a continuing powerful influence to so many people.

It was an utmost privilege to have known both your mother and father. I consider it a true honor to be have been a friend of Saul and Dorothy Roth.
