Yesterday
My grandma the person who taught me to read for the first time, the person who made me like moon pies, and the person who i could always count on to be the best grandma ever. I know anytime i needed a hug or someone to pray with she´d be there. God put a wonderful grandma in my life. I wasn´t ready to lose such a beautiful person. Anytime you walked in a room with her she always made it welcoming. God will forever be blessed with such a wonderful woman like my great grammy. I love you forever sweet soul. I will forever miss you.

I worked with Dorothy off and on for many years. She was a beautiful woman with an even more beautiful heart. She was kind and caring and so inspirational. Heaven gained a special soul. My deepest condolences to her family members and I pray that you are left with wonderful memories that will hold you over until you are reunited in heaven one day. With love, Lori Brashear

I loved Dorothy so much! She was a pleasure to work with & always so kind. We always had to get updates on Mocha & all her beloved family. I feel blessed to have met her & call her my work buddy. God grant you the peace that passes all understanding to bring you through your loss. May her memory & the love she had for you all, remain in your heart always. - Candace
