I heard of Dorothy's homegoing after her funeral services so I wasn't able to attend. I have a lot of good memories of time spent with her at church and family activities as well. She was a wonderful person and a friend to everyone she met.
She Will Forever Be Loved.

Dorothy R. Adcock was my Grandmother, and she will forever live on in my heart, and my memories, she was a very kind and caring person, that will never be forgotten, she touched many lives in her time here on earth. I can honestly say we were lucky to have had her here with us. I was always very close to her, and loved her with all my heart, and always will. I loved the stories she told, as well as the time she spent with me. She loved to play music, sing, and share good times with as many people as she could. She loved god over all things, and even though she's gone, I know that she's moved on to a much better place, where there is no pain or suffering, and though I'll miss her deeply, it's comforting to know, that she's dancing down the streets of gold with god by her side, as the angels turn to hear her beautiful voice sing.
Sometimes it seems like it happened to someone else...
Like maybe it was a story I heard,
Even though I know it happened...
Sometimes I can't help feeling that she's not really gone...
And I just hope she's ok.
