It was an honor to have known your Mother and to have been a part of her Redeemer family. Dorothy had the most wonderful spirit and warmest smile and always made you feel special. She will be missed - especially by the women in the Wednesday Bible study at Redeemer. I am sorry we were out of town and missed the service at Redeemer. I have heard it was a wonderful celebration of your Mother and Grandmother's life. May all your memories of her bring smiles to your hurting hearts. May the love of friends and family give you comfort; may the love of our Saviour bring you peace.

Miss Dorothy, you will be greatly missed! I knew you for a short time, attending book club with you. In that short time, I came to know, love, admire, enjoy and respect you and your faith. I will always remember your gentle soul.
You can finally rest in God's Arms.

I worked with Dot at Century 21. She was a great realtor, but most of all, a WONDERFUL person! She cared how others were feeling or doing, even when she was not feeling the best. She always focused her care on others. Dot will be missed.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

I love ya mom. Although we were parted on paper, we never parted in our hearts. You gave yourself to others without a second thought, always unselfishly. You had an unbelievable knack of knowing when things needed to be taken very seriously or NOT. Lord knows you were dealt more than your share of making those tough decisions. You were a soft and strong soul all in one!
I will miss your bright eyes, huge smile, and your soft sweet voice. A part of you is in each of my daughters and I thank you for that. I thank God you will always have a place in my heart as well.
Dont cause tooooooo much trouble in heaven! Remember, you're an ANGEL now!!

Love,
Julie
