I am sorry i had not seen your mom in a couple years. I sometimes want to pull onto her street when I am down that way. I think of her often. She was an inspiration to all she met. I am sorry for your loss.
I have been thinking about Dorthy….I do miss her. I am sorry i have not seen her in a couple years. She was a wonderful person and an inspiration to all she met. I am sorry for your loss
Dear Patti: My heart is saddened beyond words. There is a reason for every season and some people enter our lives for a short period of time, service their purpose and are gone. God sent your mother into mine and Stephanie’s lives in 1974 and through her love, strength and support I have been able to survive many dark days. I truly believe she was His disciple. She is now sharing eternal life. I regret I am unable to pay my last respects in person due to my illness but people know you are in my prayers. I thank God I was able to spend a short time with her in late January, she remembered me and we were able to share some precious memories, especially of the “Fab Five” To God Be The Glory!
Our hearts are saddened by your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I so enjoyed getting to know Dorothy and am sorry she is no longer with us. But God knew the time to call her home. He has removed all her pain and reeuntied her with Eb. What a wonderful life she had with her beloved husband and two beautiful children. Though I know you are sad at her loss, you will see her again Mark.
It’s wonderful that your mom’s life touched so many other lives in a special way. Now she’s getting her rewards. Peace be with you, Mark.
Stacy, your grandma’s wonderful influence shows in you. So sorry for your family’s loss & I can only hope you find peace soon.
Mark how wonderful it is to have a mother that touch so many lives. She receiving her rewards now. Peace be with you.
