Your eight little chicks love you Aunt Dody. Forever and Always. I can’t be there, but I can sing for you. I hope you like them. Of course, Nancy said, you would like anything I sing, because I’m your little Sally Ann. ( Big Grin ) This is where you laugh and say, Yes dear. 🙂
Dorothy was a bridesmaid in my wedding, wearing a yellow dress, at school she was quiet, soft smile, and very pleasant. She lived across street from Dads church and that is where I first met her. We also shared desk in study hall. She was and remained a lovely person.
Aunt Dotty loved me as her own daughter. She loved my mother as her own sister. I remember her laugh ,her smile, her sense of humor and fun. She always was the prettiest lady in the church and i will always love her dearly and miss her the rest of my life .Thank uou for your love and kindness and beautiful spirit., Aunt Dotty…
I remember serving many meals, doing dishes, laughing w/ others as we did many things together w/ Women’s Missionary Society of Mooresville COG. They were good paper customers while living on W Main St in Mooresville to. It helped our Christopher to get his bicycle & learn some excellent communicating when be has to. We are sorry for your loss but we know on whom she believe. She has reached her goal.. Bless you all & our prayers are w/ those remaining.
I have treasured memories of the days we got to spend in the summer months with aunt Dody and uncle Brad. She had such a sweet and giving heart and I will never forget the sparkle in her eyes and her contagious smile. I have peace knowing that you and grandma are together in heaven. I will love and miss you always.
Aunt Dody had the softest heart, sweetest smile, and most generous spirit of anyone who has ever been in my life. She was always so loving and kind I remember I always wanted to be around her as a little girl. That never changed, and I was so blessed to see her again. I will always carry her memory in my heart.
Dody was such a sweet and loving lady. We wish you peace and strength during this difficult time. Our prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Dorothy. The passing away of a loved one is always with much sorrow. May we have faith and confidence in the Bible’s promise of a time when pain, sickness and death are a thing of the past (Revelation 21:3, 4). My condolences are with the family at this difficult time.
