Dear Hollin Family, I was so sorry to hear about Dorcas' death. The fact that she died the day after David was very sad. Hard to believe that a lot of our Botany Park friends and neighbors are leaving us. And each of them leave an empty spot in our hearts. I always loved her smile and her sense of humor. She was such a lovely lady. Mom was looking forward to seeing her more at Magnolias. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless your family as you adjust to life without her. May He wipe away your tears and replace them with sweet memories that bring a smile to your face. Much love to all of you! Sherry

My husband Rob and I were saddened to receive the news of Dorcas' death. As a member of the Daughters of the British Empire, Dorcas attended every meeting with a smile and a happy greeting for everyone. I will remember her kind and generous spirit, her wonderful stories, and her delicious meat pies. I wish peace and comfort to her family.

Sorry to hear of Dorcas's death. Neither Ann or I will be able to attend due to our own health problems. Our prayers are with all of you. I admire you for being such a close knit family. If w can do anything please let us know. I will miss talking to her. She always was concerned with others health problems than her own. Always kept me informed about Mrs. Partin. May God bless all of you.
