So sorry to hear of Dorothy passing. We have thought of her often after she moved to be closer to all of you. Sorry we will not be able to make the funeral, our prayers are with you all as you go through this time. God bless you all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. Dorothy was a very special lady. She lived a long life and was ready to go home.
I am so very sorry for your loss. My brother Lonnie use to work for her and Al at their Resort on Buzzard Roost. I remember her as being an incredibly sweet, kind and caring Lady!!
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. When I have
experienced the loss of a loved one, I found
great comfort in the words of Jesus at John 11
verse 11, where he likens death to sleeping,
and at John 5:28,29 - "All those in the memorial
tombs will hear his voice and come out."
