Oh how I will miss my friend! We are exactly 30 years apart. She was the best friend you could have! I know she is at peace with her family and shining down on all of us. Love you Dorothy. Life will sure be lonely without you.
Becky my thoughts and prayers are with you! Love you Wendy
Prayers for all the family. Didn’t know Miss Dorothy in person, but felt like I knew her through her daughter Shelley, who talked about her all the time. I am glad she is at peace and free from her pain and being met at the gate by her family…
Certain people touch our lives in a special way. Dorothy is that person for me. She welcome me into her home and her heart long time ago. I thought of her as my other mom then and still do now. I’m internally grateful for knowing her. I will always remember and miss her very much.
Becky so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. Prayers for the family.
