My deepest sympathy to the family at this sad time. I also worked in the office at Fort Gordon with Mrs Gibbs and Mrs Prescott (who passed on the same day). I have great memories that I will forever cherish.

My deepest sympathy for your loss this day and the trials that came before. God loves and blesses you all, I know in my heart.

Please forgive me if this message becomes too long. Miss Dot Ashe worked for years with Dorothy and her friend, JoAnn Prescott at Fort Gordon. She called me saying that she thinks that it is worth noting that Dorothy and JoAnn worked faithfully, side by side with their desks only about four feet apart and then they are called home on the same day and their obituaries are placed side by side in Tuesday's paper. Perhaps God has honored them both in a special way that some might typically say was a coincidence. Our prayers are with your family. Don Hancock, Augusta, Ga.

At this time of sorrow,
May these truths sustain you ...
Your loved one will always
Be as close as a memory,
And the God of all comfort
Will always be as
Close as a prayer.
