To All Of Dorothy’s Loving Family,
Sad to know of this. Please know the Good Lord is watching over all of you.
I haven’t known her long, only a very short time, but she certainly was easy to like. Every time I’d see her in the hall, community room or outside the first thing I always noticed is her wonderful smile and she’d say hello. Her smile was just like a bright sunshine. Always nice to me when ever I saw her.
She was so proud of you.
And each seasonal decoration I’d say how beautiful, and I’d ask who did that, and Dottie right away was quick to say my daughter decorates. And I was always complimentary because it always looked so nice.
May the Dear Lord Bless and comfort each and everyone during this time.
Bless All Of You, Today, Tomorrow & Always. Hugs to All.
Mary Comfort
