My great grandmother was such an amazing woman of God. She was the true example of God’s characteristics in a human. She loved her 3 kids and all grandkids equally. She’s now with 2 of her kids rejoicing with our Lord and Savior forever and ever. Amen??
Linda I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was a good sweet and kind lady. Your family and you will be in my prayers.
Aunt Dot was very loved by many people. I remember when i was little and we would pass through harrison a lot but we never did without stopping at aunt dots house. Mom loved aunt dot! She always had to stop in and check on her. Aunt Dot was always so sweet. Always a smile...
Aunt Dot was a special person in our lives. She was most often the comedy relief we all need. Our laughter rang out when we were with her. Love and sympathy to Linda and Ron and her entire family. Fly high Aunt Dot!
My Grandmother was an amazing woman, one of the most kind patient people you would have the pleasure of being around. My babies were always wrapped in one of her beautifully, crocheted blankets. You will be missed, but I know you are having a great time with your Lord and Savior.
Love and Prayers
Love to this family. Dorothy will be missed,
