I was a young Physiotherapist working at the Red Deer General Hospital 40 years ago. I did not know Dorothy as a working nurse, but as head nurse on the Medical ward, where she ran 'a tight ship'. I remember hearing her berate, (several times,Doctors. "No you need to do ....NOW". not now, but NOW! I will never know if the Doctors were just pulling her chain, but the action got done. Recently, Dorothy was one of my favourites at Rosefield. She recognized me, not who I was, but someone familiar. I would introduce myself and tell her that I worked with her when she was in charge. She would grin her toothy smile,and hold and kiss my hand, ever so gently. She gave an extra(or 3or4)squeezes, when she gave me a hug. She could not speak, but she 'asked' why I was on crutches, or grabbed the hem of a bright colour blouse I might be wearing. She liked my rainbow coloured shoes with the yellow laces. She was at her best at the end of the afternoon, and would reach out to me as I was on my way off the unit. I would tell her what I was off to do that evening or weekend. She would wish me on my way. Rest in Peace Dorothy. Shirley Mills
