Reggie, Cathy, Monica & Nadia ...
We were saddened for all the Tuck family to learn of Dorothy's passing. We do take comfort in knowing that she is in a better place. Pat and I have considered Dorothy as part of our extended family since meeting her at The Brandermill Church years ago, when Reggie was our pastor.

Dorothy and I have been e-mail buddies up until just recently. She would keep me up to date on the family. Several times, when we were traveling up that way, we would stop by to see Dorothy. Sitting on her front porch enjoying the beautiful view and talking are fond memories.

I will miss you, Dorothy, and keeping up with you and the family news by e-mail. We will meet again one day.

Pat and I send love and hugs to all of you.

Reggie,
Mom and I were so sorry hear about your mother. We know what a hard time it must be for you. We spoke of how helpful you were to us during my father's illness and death. Know that we are here for you as you were for us. Lean on God that he may hold you up.

Much Love,

Patricia Berger and Regina Wingo

Thougts and prayers to the entire Tuck family. Dot, I will miss sitting with you in church and the JOY trips that we took together. Of course, Nathan and I started out first grade together at Back Creek, continued as classmates at Cave Spring High and also graduated from Emory and Henry together. While at Emory, I "adopted' Ray and thought of him as my nephew..walking the campus and "enjoying' everyone making over such a cute toddler. Hard to believe all these years have passed. Reggie, Barbara, and all members of the Tuck family, I love you. Dot, please put in a good word for me in Heaven! Thanks for the memories and I will always remember you Dianne Vaught and my mother, Yvonne Vaught. Sisters: Elaine Crews and Carole Dalton and brother, Dan Vaught.

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Dot many years ago at Cave Spring United Methodist Church and we became friends. I moved away and lost touch, but have always remembered her. She was such a wonderful person.

Reggie, Cathy & family ~
I'm both grieving with you yet rejoicing that Dorothy is with the Lord after living a life full of years and faith. I can imagine the angels rejoicing as they welcomed her Homecoming in the presence of our Lord. Nonetheless, your grief over missing her
is very real as well. You are in my thoughts and prayers as I remain grateful for what we shared in heart, friendship and faith at The Brandermill Church.

With heartfelt sympathy and God's blessings ~ Ginny Menninger

To all Dot's family:

I am so sorry for your loss. She was so proud of each and every one of you and beamed with love any time she spoke of you. Take comfort knowing that she is re-united with Nathan and the others who went before her. I lost my mother December 31st so I know your sorrow. Dot was a good friend and neighbor and she will be missed by many.

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

I was saddened to read that I have lost an E-mail friend, although it's been quite sometime since last hearing from her. We never did get to meet face-to-face but we "visited" by our messages to each other and we talked about family history.
