Kay, I am so sorry about your mom's death. I know having to say good-bye to your mother is so very hard to do, but she will never leave you.She will always stay close in your heart. You know how I have always felt about your mother. She was such a dear lady, so sweet, so kind. I used to love staying at your house, because she always made me feel so welcome. How fortunate I was to have known her. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Much love,
Pam

What a pleasure it was to have known Ms Dorothy. Her sense of humor was a pick me up you could always count on and her faith was an inspiration to everyone who knew her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends and I hope they'll be comforted by God's words in 1 Thessalonians "But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus."

Aunt Dot,
I will miss your sweet smile and open arms. This is what I first remember about you when I married into the Langley family and you were so full of fun and laughter! I knew then I had found the perfect family! What a blessing to know that we will see Jesus and talk again together one day.

will miss you.......Nita Langley ( Harold's wife)

My heart is saddened by the lost of one of the sweetest, most Godly women I have ever known. I will cherish the time I spent with Ms Dorothy, talking about what the Lord has been doing in our lives, our families, gardening etc..... She was such a great example to all of us as to how to live this life as a christian woman.. I will miss her so very much! Praying for comfort and peace for the family. She loved you all so very much!!
