From Pintsey's "Philly Family":
We are so sorry that we could not attend the home going celebration. We did have a chance to see her last summer and we are grateful for the time we got to spend with her. She was truly a woman of God. Please take comfort in knowing that she is now with the Lord, and not in pain any more. We know that she will be missed. Love, Baby Uncle and the rest of her family in Philly.

To the Family of Elder Dottie:
What a pleasure to have known such a beautiful flower. God now has the best of the crop. May you continue to find joy in the midst of your loss, for God is a good God and HE makes no mistakes. We have been blessed by her love for Christ, her smile and most of all her words of encouragement through all that she was going through. A true solider, she was.

A Better Place
She’s in a better place right now
Than she’s ever been before;
All pain is gone; she’s now at rest;
Nothing troubles her anymore.
It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.
We know we’ll reconnect with her
At the end of each life’s road;
We’ll see her cherished face again
When we release our earthly load
