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.
John, Bridgett and families, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom talked about you guys all the time when we were working together. She was so proud of each of you she was a sweet lady and I enjoyed each day I had with her. I know you will miss her . Prayers for you today and days ahead.
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
Prayers for the family.
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.
