I fell in love with Ms. Dorcas the first day she came in the office after I started working there. Her spunk just grabbed me. My heart breaks for your family and Dorcas will be missed immensely. Just know that she is smiling down from Heaven free from pain now. Cherish the memories you have, they will get you through. God bless.

I am truly sorry for your loss of Dorcas. I remember her very well during my childhood days and she always was smiling. Mike, know that your memories with her will forever be in your heart and to your children, you will be known by the legacy your mother has left behind. Rest in peace Dorcas and what a beautiful angel God has placed in heaven.

Dear McMurray family,
I saw where Dorcas passed. With all she had gone through she always had a smile on her face whenever I saw her. I know she will forever be in your hearts. You are all in my thoughts.
PS. Patty just remember your mom saying Cheeseburger at the club and how much we always laughed about that.

My heart truly broke last night when Patty called me and told me the news. I sat down last night and it was like my middle and high school years just came back to me. Dorcas was like a mom to me. I think she even grounded me a few times.. Even as years have passed and I drifted from the family I will always keep her close to my heart. My love and prayers are with the McMurray family. Mom will be deeply missed.
