Jerry and Dean, Sure has been a long time since we have seen each other. Just want to say that Dorsey was one of my favorite cousins. He was the sweetest you would ever want to meet. I sure loved him when I was a little girl. Also, he was the bus driver that took my senior class to NY and DC. I think it was Mike that went along and I kinda held his hand. He will rem the trip. Sure would love to see you guys. Joyce Osborne Long

Dear Steve, Crystal, Gary & Helen (and all the rest of the Weddington family) My and Sam's heart felt condolences go out to you all. I loved Dorsey as well as a member of my own family and we never missed an opportunity to send a christmas card to each other. We made each other laugh alot. I know he will be missed by all! He was an excellent man...thank you for allowing me to share your sorrow. I am so saddened that I cannot travel to Lexington to attend his services. My heart will be there with you though. Sincerely, Judy Patterson
