My sympathy goes out to the Family during your time of grief. A life well lived will surely be missed by many. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends and knowing that God is near when our hearts are broken.

To the family of Dorothy Mae, please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your loved one. I too lost my mother in death,and I have some idea of how you are feeling. May you find comfort in the beautiful promise found in God's word which speaks of a time in the future when all sorrows even death will be a thing of the past. Isaiah 65:17,21-24.
With caring thoughts.

Debra and all of Mom Johnson's family. My heart is very heavy to hear of Mom;s passing. I did not know Mom (as she allowed me to call her) for a great many years, but she made me so welcome and a part of her family. Thank you all for letting me share in her love. May God bless her and know she will rest in peace in the arms of our great Father.
