Not sure what to say?

She was a kind and beautiful lady. Very compassionate and loving to my daughter. Goodbye Dorothy. You won't be forgotten.

Thinking and praying for each of you. April and Heather, we are so sorry for your loss. Freddie and I are praying for comfort and sending lots of love!
May God bless all of you.

I'm Remembering I fine Lady in Christ... I'm Thankful that her Son Danny shared her with us... often times he'd get her on the phone with us his "Trucking Driving Buddies" and she would encourage us Pray for us and give Thanks to Jesus her Savior... a few times she talked with me one on one I was always lifted up after each phone call she reminded me so much in voice and her Happinessof my GrandmotherTiny... tho she is no longer present with us ... we have the hope to join her thru Gods...

I was the first grandchild, so that meant I had a big responsibility—naming you. I chose Nana. Perfect.
Simple. And you wore it like a crown.

So sorry for Mrs. Peyton's family, my deepest sympathy to you all. I remember her coming to the Robert Sheffey Memorial Camp Meeting. May it bring much comfort knowing she is resting with Jesus now.

Rest in peace Nana I will miss you everyday and I love you your work here on earth is done fly high with all the angels pain free and with Jesus forever

Thank you Momma for all your prayers for me and all my truck driving friends over the years
