Dorothy Gladden Lawton

Dear Dorthy,

I know you will read this soon and know that I am sorry I will not be there to hug you and say goodbye. As the tears leave my eye's know they are not because you passed but because we will not be able to see you live again like only you could. You have touched so many lives in so many ways I regret I could not always be there to see how you did but in journeys I will never forget and pass upon to others the things that you passed upon to me........

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dear Virginia and family,
I knew Dorothy for many years and she never changed. Always ready to speak her mind, but had a smile and kind words also. She was one of a kind and she will be missed by all that knew her. Gone but never forgotten.
God's grace and mercy be with you always.

Sharon Shepherd-Williams and son Steven

Gaylord and Adele I am sorry for your loss, My prayers are with you and your family.

Aunt Dorthy will be missed my prayers go out to my family at this diffcult time.

Dorothy was a shining light wherever she went. My boys (Adam and Victor) will always remember Dorothy for speaking her mind and caring enough to always ask about them. Now heaven has another reason to shine. Dorothy's spirit is there!

Dorothy was a kind and loving friend and helpful to others, she helped me reunite with my brother Fred Chalton, and Dorothy you will be missed. Dorothy was such a fun loving person that always kelp a smile on your face.
much love Zonnie Stewart
