I couldn't have asked for a better mother-in-law. I always felt like family, always felt welcome. I will miss her so much.

I really enjoyed meeting Dortha after she became part of my father’s life and treasured the opportunity to get to know her better on our visits over the years. My kids and were so sorry to hear the news and we will miss her smiles and amazing home cooked meals (my half-Belgian kids’ introduction to good southern cooking). My condolences for those who knew her best. Jeff, Lenka, Mats and Kai

So sorry to hear of the passing of my cousin, just a few days older than I, neighbor, and we were best friends growing up. We shared so many hours, good times, church and activities there together. Distance did not let us be close in adult years, but she was always in my heart. Thanks so much to her dear brother for letting me know. God bless you, Darrell. I am praying for God's peace and comfort now for you.
