Sending heartfelt condolences to the family. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. Find comfort in knowing that there’s no more suffering, no more pain, and that she’s in a much better place than you and I.
John 14
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

To the family, my condolence. Dorthy was always a very nice Lady. She always had time to stop and say hello, instead of just passing you by. She was a quiet Lady and always treated me nice. I pray her family find peace in knowing where she is and who she is with. Her Father.
