Dorethia visited my neighbor often and would come over before leaving. We had an enjoyable visit with her recently while she was in the hospital. Always greeting us with her beautiful smile.
We extend our deepest sympathies and prayers to you and your family during this time of bereavement. May God continue to give you the strength that is needed now and may the soul of Dorethia be at peace with our Heavenly Father. May God continue to keep his arms wrapped around the family...
