To the McMaster Family,
We just recently learned of the loss of your mother and want to share with you what an encouragement she was to us. She supported our family as missionaries in Russia and while we were helping to send out new missionaries from the US. Her faithfulness was an inspiration to us every month and we are grateful for the partnership she had with us in ministry. What a wonderful legacy she has left behind of kindness to so many.

Dorothy and Andrew let me stay at their home when I was 18 and just getting started in life. She helped me with everything I needed and was a great listener. I'll always remember Dorothy as a wise, caring and hard-working woman. She had the most serene spirit and was a friend to everyone. My prayers are with her family.

Dorothy has always been my Minneapolis mom and I'm so glad that my daughter, Alexa, had the opportunity to get to know her, especially during game nights this past year. Dorothy truly had a great love for the Lord and knew how to bring a smile to peoples faces. She never forgot to greet me on my birthday, even after Bob and I broke up. She will always be in my heart and what she taught me will never be forgotten. A true shepard she is. All my love to you, the family.

Dorothy was a very special lady! She always had a smile and encouraging word, whenever we would see each other! She loved her Lord and truly experienced the abundant life He promised all of us! Now, she is experiencing Him much greater than any of us could ever imagine! I will miss her. To her family and closest friends, please know that I am praying for you all to experience the supernatural peace of Jesus, as you walk this journey of grief.
Love,
Judy Marks

My sympathies to you for the loss of a gracious and loving woman. I lived next door on 19th Avenue and was Andy's nurse. They were great neighbors.
