She was a precious Angel that the Lord needed. She was a very caring, thoughtful and loving woman.
Ms. Dorothy had many morals and values that she has passed down to her family members. May God's love and her memories give you comfort during this time of sorrow.
We send our deepest sympathy to you during this very difficult time. We have very fond memories of going and visiting with Uncle Clifford and Aunt Dorothy on Sunday afternoons. Our daughter, Shekanah, would begin to sing and we would all join in and just have a little church service in their home. They were both precious people and now they are together again.
Carlean & Family,
You are in my thoughts & prayers today and in the days ahead.
