Your Uma was a wonderful lady. I have fond memories of riding the bus to Barney’s and hanging out. She was a class act. Sending my love and prayers to the entire Dozier family.

So sorry for your loss may you find peace and comfort in the words spoken at 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4" Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God
