This message is from Joy and Kevian Heard. Remeber that God allows things to happen in our life for a reason. We are always quick to say Lord why me? I have learned to say since being in Katrin Lord why not me. God knows what's best for each and everyone of us. We had Mrs. Dorothy for over 70 yrs and for that we were "Blessed. I know what you are going through now and feeling is a pain that no one can explain, but if you trust and have faith in the Lord he will guide you through. Your mother was a loving and caring woman and she was loved by many, she will be missed but her memory lives on in her children and grandchildren. May the Lord Bless and Keep You as a Family.

This message is to the family of Dorothy Simpson. Words can't explain what I'm going through right now, do to the fact that I just lost my father about a month ago and now I've lost my best friend. I want you all to give it to God and try to be strong like I'm trying to do. For we know that he doesn't make mistakes, we love her but God loved her best. Dorothy will truly be missed. You all are a family that I fell in love with at first sight and I will not forget. Love Always to All of Dorothy's children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and her husband Sam.
