Gail and Terry,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and the "other Dorothy." She was a beautiful woman inside and out. May God keep all of you in his loving arms.

Gail and Terri, What can we say; but we're all blessed to have had a bit of Dorothy in our lives. From our big supporter, as kids nervous to public speak, to always having a third eye out for children other than her own, the ability to so artfully straighten out a teen and make it seem like their idea to shape up! Thanks for all of the life lessons given in hopes that we wouldn't have to go through avoidable bruises of life. You've fixed many an issue over a hot cup of coffee, heart warming soup, and a cookie on the side. I see your witt in Gail and your wonder in Terri. We've only fond memories to have and treasure. Thanks Ma Bordy, that was quite the dash!

Gail and Terry, My thoughts are heavy with your loss tonight. Prayers go out to you daily. Your Mom was a real spitfire - but loving and down to earth. She will be greatly missed. A true hero. Wish I could join you for the services.

Gail and Terry, my heart is breaking as I read this. You and your mother were like family to me. I have thought of y'all often since we have moved. Dorothy was a spit fire but so sweet and generous to those she loved. I would love to hear her talking about playing cards or water aerobics. Although I was half her age, I wished I had half of her energy. I know nothing anyone can say can take away the hurt and the pain but she was LOVED by all. My heart and prayers are with you all. I truly wish I could be there for services but please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
