March 1, 2011

Lift me higher as I spread my wings
I hear the trumpets and the Angels sing,
I feel their comfort and glorious love
For I am home in Heaven above.

You will always be a song in my heart Dorothy. I love you and forever will miss you.

Dear Lucy, Patricia & Dave, George, Bob & Danielle, Connie & Bernie, Jim & Kim, family and friends of Dorothy ~

Know that I am holding each of you and yours close in love, thoughts and prayers during this time.

I last visited with Dorothy at our 45th Cle Elum High School reunion. Dear Connie, thank-you for making sure she was able to join us.

If it may be of any comfort, now when you look into the clear sky at night and see each and every beautiful star, take a moment and don't think of them as stars; but, think of them as porch lights welcoming your dear loved one home.

May your rest in forever peace dear friend Dorothy. God bless you and your loved ones. ~?~
