Good Night Aunt Dorothy
I will forever miss you. My heart is heavy with sorrow that I will never see you again on this Earth, But filled with gladness that you will embrace me in Heaven.

Maw-Maw, I love you so much! I can not believe you are gone. I know you are at peace and have no more pain. I find comfort in knowing that you are in heaven watching over us and you are with your heavenly father. Heaven has a new angel. You were a great woman; I hope one day I may become half the woman you were! I love you more than words can ever express, you will be missed by many!
I Love You Maw-Maw!
