Not sure what to say?

Dorothy (and Claire) were very active friends of my parents, Joy and Vance Terrall. We loved Dorothy for her gentle soft ways of connecting. She was always so present when speaking and so loving with her eyes. She is one special woman of whom I will never forget. She and Claire were so close with my mother and their love for her flowed from them whenever visiting. Our families had many adventures together including the Oregon Coast. One picture I have, that mom took, is of me putting...

Dorothy was such a caring, kind hearted and fun individual putting her family first. Her life set an example for myself as I was growing up. Living in our house on Allan Road with my family: George, Helen, Marty and Brad I had a wonderful childhood with the Gray family living behind our house.

We all loved your mom and dad. They were among the nicest of our parents’ friends and I always looked forward to laughing and smiling with them. Your mother was a sweet and gentle soul who always had a smile. I’m glad she was able to find personal outlets after your father passed away. I can’t think of two people more deserving of being together again. Much love and prayers for comfort, Laurie Terrall

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I am so sorry for your loss. She was such a gracious lady, and she and Claire were such good friends to my folks, Cliff and Eleanor Stewart. May God bless you with comfort and peace as you cherish your memories secure in the knowledge that she and your dad are reunited in the presence of God. - Linda Nelson

Claire and Dorothy were two of my parents (Vance and Joy Terrall) special and favorite friends. As such we as children and later as adults spent a good deal of time with the Grays and their children. The Grays were perfect for each other. Both were so kind and always interested in how you were doing. It was a blessing to have known them. Scott Terrall

Dorothy was a wonderful neighbor, always smiling and helpful. May she rest in peace.

Your mother sounded like a beautiful soul. You were blessed to have her in your life.
