Dorothy Lee Cornelius

It never feels like another year has passed us by.... Granny, you're missed every hour of every day. You were our matriarch, our compass, and the quiet strength that held us together through every storm and family celebration.

Your love was not loud, but it was unwavering. It lived in the meals you prepared with care, the wisdom you shared without judgment, and the way your presence made any room feel like home. You carried generations on her shoulders with grace, and your legacy continues to echo in our laughter, and our traditions.

There isn´t an hour that passes without feeling the absence of your physical presence. Yet in that absence, we find you everywhere-in the stories we tell, the values we uphold, and the resilience you instilled in each of us. You taught us that family is not just blood, but bond. That love is not just spoken, but lived.

Granny, you were the glue that held us together, and even now, you continue to bind us with memory and love. We honor you not just with tears, but with the lives we lead and the strength we carry forward. Continue to be our guardian angel. You're forever missed, forever cherished, and forever loved.

Say hello to all of our family and friends that are there with you and give them a hug from us...I truly love and miss you MA

Where do I began...Since today is you day, we would be celebrating with dinner, gifts and of course Cake(face). I can't believe it's been almost three years. What I wouldn't give to hug you again, hold you again and just talk with you again. You would be so proud of us. We are managing day to day but my heart is not whole without you. I miss you with al my heart!Until we meet again, your loving grand daughter, Kimberly.

Happy Birthday to you "Granny"! I miss you and love you dearly.

Hey mom, still missing you...your friends are still calling me to talk with you and I have to give them the news...Yes you had a ton of friends and YOU ARE LOVED!

Holidays just weren't the same without you "MOM"...miss you and love you so much...

Two [2] years TODAY "MA" your physical self went away...I think I actually feel your spirit from time to time...[SOMETIMES]from day to day...I truly miss you all of the time cause I can't seem to get you off of my mind...Not that I'm trying to do so NO NOT EVER - I just wish that we still had some time together! Still loving you ...Still missing you "MA" ! ! ! ! !

Kim is a really good frind of mine and she loves you very much. Through her stories and fond memories of you, she keeps your legacy alive and let's us all know what a warm kind hearted and strong woman you were. She is a wonderful friend and I thank you for being such a good Granny to her. If it wasn't for you and her mom I never would have had the pleasure of knowing her. Your family created a very special woman whom I am proud to call my friend.

Two years ago today was a life changing day for our family. It doesnt seem like it's been two years but at the same time it seems like a lifetime. What I would give to be able to hug you or kiss you right now! I feel like there's sooo much that you've missed like birthdays, graduations and holidays, it's just not the same withiut your presence here. It's your physical presence that's not here, We know you here with us all the time. We love you, we miss you more and more everyday.

Miss You!

Happy birthday granny! Not having u here with us on the daily basis has not been easy! Today for your day, we will remember the good times. You are truly missed and forever loved! Rest peacefully! And no I didn't forget (cake in the face) :) smile

Hey "MA" still missing u of course...just checking to make sure your guestbook is still intact...U may know that Barbara Culbreath left us...Give her, granny, bobby and all of our friends and relatives a kiss for us...love you.

It's getting close to your Birthday and I'm finding it harder to deal you not being here. I miss you dearly and I love you with all my heart!

Easter just wasn't the same without you MA...I cooked a large Thanksgiving Dinner for the family...Wish you were here with us...We are all getting along and the kids are doing great in college...

Hey Mom still missing you I can tell that you were aware of our visit to the gravesite the other day; especially when the sun "all of a sudden" came out and shone directly on you and Bobby...eventhough the skies were dark and cloudy...THANK YOU FOR THAT..

I LOVE YOU MOM
CynthiAnn

P.S. I've also posted a few photos in the guest book photo section.

Just checking in "MA"!!!!! Some of my days I'm just lost without you being in my life on a daily basis. I want to ask WHY? but, how do one question the Lord's work without appearing to be ungrateful.. I do have an abundance to be grateful for continuously and memories of my life with you are refreshing. I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY MISS YOU - MA - AND I just want to say thank you for being such a wonderful parent ALL OF MY LIFE. I've never said that to you and I pray that JUST THE WAY THAT WE LIVED OUR LIVES TOGETHER - I pray that you knew how thankful/grateful I am for all that you endured, SACRIFICED and triumphed over TO RAISE US AND CARE FOR US singled-handedly. I WISH YOU WERE HERE. I DON'T EVER FEEL YOUR PRESENCE AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF I WANT TO MA...LOL You know how I am...{smile} I JUST WISH YOU WERE STILL HERE WITH US! Ma God is continuing to bestow blessings on us and as I learn new things and watch new shows, hear new music and witness new and positive occurences again, I wish you were here to share in these things with us. There has been a whole lot of skizzy {SMILE}going around and I can't gossip about it with you. God, I miss you. I love you Ma.

Dot, I miss our conversations and you catching me up on family events. You have no idea how much you are missed!

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

Dot, another year has come,not a day go by that i dont think about you.I miss yo deeply.We had our difficult times, but we managed to laugh later.Miss you.

Ma, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years have all come and gone... None of them felt the same without you being here in our presence to share them with the family. I hope you heard me say "Happy Thankgiving Ma", Merry Christmas Ma", "Happy New Year Ma"...Believe it or not I was still up and in the living room this New Years...-MISSING YOU MA, MISSING YOU- Lately, with certain meals that I prepare and eat I really, really miss you saying " Thanks, that was good!" (Smile)
I LOVE YOU MA

Ma it feels strange sitting here in my usual seat, on the sofa, and glancing to my left at your usual seat, the rocker/recliner, and you're not sitting there. I'm use to seeing you glance up at me- as I smile and stare at you dozing off or "VICE-VERSA"... It's oh-so-lonely watching our one and only soap opera "The Young and The Restless"...and it's also quite different looking at the television screen and not seeing one of your many favorite game shows past or present. I MISS YOU MA...I LOVE YOU.......CYNTHIANN ! ! ! ! !

Granny,
This Thanksgiving was not the same without you here. I remember us always wanting you to taste the food and make sure it was just right.(Since I could be a bit heavy with the sugar and salt). Everyday I think about you and how unreal it seems that you're gone. Even though it was hard,we came together as a family just like you would have wanted us to. We will continue to honor your memory everyday and stay together as a family. We love you and miss you always.
Your Granddaughter,Kimberly

After all the time we spent together,who would have thought we would not have the time to say goodbye.The only comfort is that we we see each other again one day. I will always love you and miss all the times we spent together.e wll neve forget you or the love that you brought to our family.I promise to honor your memory by loving and looking out for one another. love always Pam .

Ma there hasn't been a day that has gone by that I have not missed talking with you, laughing with you, buzzing you downstairs on the telephone or you buzzing me upstairs, thinking of meals for the day, listening to one another snore even if it was sometimes from different levels of the house...{smile} We were such GOOD FRIENDS MA - SUCH GOOD FRIENDS AND GOD KNOWS THAT I DO MISS YOU SO SO SO SO SO VERY MUCH! I pray to God that we will enjoy each others company one day again....I love you Ma and I miss you Ma. Stay sweet...I truly believe that you were not ready to leave us yet and for that I am truly sorry but I know that the Lord is enjoying your kind soul! Your Daugher !

It was a gift to have shared in Miss Cornelius' life. I will miss her smile and her sweet voice. Thank you Dorothy for allowing me to care for you.
Sincerely,
Winnie Kender M.D.

It sets in more and morever day when i leave for school and your not sleep on the couch or when i come home from school and your not in the recliner or when i come down before i go to bed andyour not watching tv or asking me to fix you a apple pastry.

-Love Kerwin Cornelius

Remembering my childhood days when NO-ONE was allowed in the living-room but of course we (kim and I)would secretly (so we thought)stick our hands through the beads for the candy jar as if others wasn't placed through-out the house for our enjoyment but we just had to have the forbidden ones! AND HOW DID GRANNY KNOW SOMEONE HAD BEEN IN HER LIVING ROOM WAS OUR QUESTION? WHEN SHE DIDN'T GO IN THERE HERSELF!! COULD IT BE THAT- THAT WAS THE ONLY CANDY JAR BEING REFILLED!! UMMM! and G_MOMMY when GRANNY called u by your first and middle name!! I just knew you were gonna get it in the worst way BUT you never got a WHOOPIN!! GRANNY, I LOVE YOU AND YOU WILL BE GREATLY AND TRULY MISSED! AND FAMILY JUST KNOW THAT A FAMILY THAT PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER!

I miss you more and more every day , things will never be the same, I'll always love you and miss you.

To our Loving Family,
