Aunt Dorothy,
As I remember you today, the first thing I think of is your gentle and kind ways, which never faultered, even during times of grief and sickness. I remember your soft voice and petite stature. I remember a faith untouched by grief and sickness and a heroic woman who remained faithful till the end. What a memory you left behind. I know all of Heaven is rejoicing at your homecoming. I'll miss you.
