Dear Casper Jr., Casper, III and Renee: We send our heartfelt condolences to you on the "Home-going" of your wife and mother.

Only God alone, knows what Dorothene was to the THAXTON FAMILY. Yes, she was our cousin, but our relationship went far beyond that. She was a friend, a confidant, an encourager, and always reminded us "GOD WAS IN CONTROL."

She was one of my closest friends and I will certainly miss her.

She leaves sweet memories for me, we referred to each other as "BESTEST GURLFRIENDS"..

I thank God for her life, her love and now for the memories.

Our prayers are with the family and we know God will keep you in perfect peace.

Be Blessed...
