Dorothy Laura Davis

Well Grandma…I didn’t think that this would be this hard. I know that you were ready to go. And I know that we said that we would all be OK…and we are…I just didn’t think that it would hurt this bad. There were still soo many things to do…you and Todd were going to make apricot jam, we were going to have a big party for your 90th birthday and I wanted to know what kind of tulip that was that you planted, it is soo pretty. And even on Monday when we were told that the end was near, we all...

My name is Herb Dinwiddle, I am Dorothy's first cousin. My mother was Blanche Horning Dinwiddle. I was sent an e-mail that Dorothy passed away. I'm so sorry. I give my condolences.

We are so sorry to hear of Dorothy's passing. I didn't realize that she had been ill. When we last saw her at Ronnie and Sharon's anniversary party in October, she seemed in such good health that I didn't realize that she was ill. Your family will be in our prayers. I'll always remember her vibrant laugh and zest for life and family.

So sorry. Our sympathy to the family. We really loved Dorothy. Not only because she reminds me on my mother. She was a great and special person. Hoped to see her on her 90th birthday and at the Horning family reunion. But it should go another way. Good she managed her life in her house such long and had more family supporting that. I am glad I could still talk to her by phone from Berlin and thankfully I had become a little dot in her life.

Grams,

As we write this memoirs, it has to be one of the hardest things we've ever had to write, much less ever expect we'd be doing. You have been the shining light and strength of our family for so long, selfishly we thought you would never leave us. However, in the loving blessing of life that God has granted upon us, it is in death that we realize how fragile we our when such a loved one is taken from us. In the last few weeks that we had with each other, we knew the inevitable...

Our condolences go out to all the Davis relatives in the passing of Dorothy. She lived a full life and cared for and loved so many people through her years. She was such a hard worker and always was there for her family and friends. We treasure the many memories she leaves with us and look forward to seeing her again one day. May God provide you strength and comfort at this time.

Llona, Marvin, Ronnie and extended family, I love you all and since losing my mom in February, I guess Mom, Aunt Maxine and Dorothy are up there drinking coffee and talking old times now. Dorothy was such a big part of my childhood. I have always considered her and you part of my family. Every time there was a problem at my house on Honeysuckle I ran across the street to Dorothy and she took care of it. I will never ever forget her neverending love for kids and her cute sense of humor. I...

To the Davis Family, I am very sorry for your loss, Stick together and love each other and you will find the strength to make it through this difficult time. I have not seen Dorthy in a while but, I have a lot of memories of her as a teenager when Paula and I would go over and spend the night and visit. She was a wonderful person and will be missed. Love Marlene (nason) Shaw

I express my sympathy to the family of Dorothy Tonge Davis. I grew up on the farm next to the Tonge's. Dorothy would come over and talk to my mother, and I remember her as a small child. Then, in 1940 when my mother had her youngest child at the age of 37, Dorothy came to live at our house for a number of weeks to care for my mother and the baby. That's when I feel I really got to know her because there were already four older daughters (I, being one of them) in the household and Dorothy...
