Our time on earth is brief, there's lessons to be learned,
Each precious day God gives us another page is turned.
Every chapter full of memories, times of joy and tears,
Triumphs and defeats, through every passing year.
Mom loved us unconditional, always by our side,
When no one else would listen, in her we could confide.
With gentle words of wisdom she led us on our way,
Down the paths of righteousness if ever we did stray.
She saw the light in everyone and gave with no regrets,
Always from her heart let's us not forget.
Angels come in many forms, for me it is my mother,
With love I cannot say in words there'll never be another.
Every day I turn the page in my heart will ever remain,
Everything she taught me as I stroll down memory lane.
Thank you God for giving me the most priceless of all treasures,
Help my Lord to keep alive her memory here forever.
I pray that I can some day be everything she hoped I would,
That she's smiling down from heaven knowing she did good.

We love you Mom

Mom......My angel

Mom:

You were so gentle and so kind. Your
smile would always see me thru.

You taught me how to love unconditionally
And how to be my very best in all I do.
You gave your all to God and your family and others
never once stopping to think about you.

You were a great mother and
great friend and a listener to many too.
Oh how I miss our special phone calls, and all the fun things we used to do.

Mom I can never say goodbye to you,
Because I could never bear the pain.
Instead I say I love you Mom
Until we meet again.
Love you Mom;
Aven

Mom lived her life the way she wanted. She had strong faith and an independent spirit. Though her life held many challenges she had faith that God would lead her through the rough times. She will be missed by many folks some that never had a chance to meet her in person.

To Helen, Phil and Dorothy's family, Our sincere condolences on Dorothy's passing. We got to know her quite well during her stay in Clarendon while caring for her Mom. She was a good neighbor and a dedicated lady who lovingly cared for her mother and grandchildren. It was obvious that Dorothy loved the Lord and we are sure she will be missed by many.
