It's hard to believe it's been 14 years since Dorothy's passing. I hope All her friends and family are doing well. She was such an instrumental part of my faith journey and such a wonderful friend. I know she's giving God a run for his money and watching over us all. Love you Dorothy and miss you so much. ♥

To Daun, David and Ellen and families,
Our deepest sympathy on the passing of your Dear Mom and our distant cousin and dear Friend. We spent numerous good times together when we were younger. Yesterday I, Emma, became the same age as she is. I am so sorry that I can't get to the funeral and see you. Our deepest sympathy to you all.
Love, Emma (Mahler)and Pete Barta

A disciple with a lot of spunk! Heaven will never be the same (she's probably skateboarding and teaching everyone to play poker). I am honored to have worked with, learned from, and grown with Dorothy. She was a mentor to me in my faith life and a very dear friend who always encouraged and supported me and others. I will miss her so much, but I know she is watching out for us all.
My thoughts and prayers go to the entire family and all who will feel a void in their lives from her passing.

My memories of Mrs. McKee (Dorothy) are some of the best from my growing and learning years at Moxham Lutheran Church. She was a ray of sunshine, radiating the warmth and love of God to others.

My deepest sympathy goes out to all of the family.

I was saddened to see of Dorothy's passing she was such a dear lady. Was so glad I was able to visit her last year with the group from MLC. She was such a big part of my time as Secretary at MLC. My deepest sympathy to you all.
