Dorothy cherished by all, devoted mother granny and homemaker . Friend companion and partner . Sociable likeable and warm affectionate pleasant personality . Cared for all people and animals and generous along with her time and affections. Will be sadly missed by all who knew her . Dorothy`s faith was important to her and I am sure this comforted her when her health was not good .
When the end came , release from bodily issues , sickness and moved onto her new place . She believed a wonderful place of no illness and full of love lay ahead .

While we all will grieve and feel deep loss we should also celebrate having ever known Dorothy a unique special caring person.

Time may help dull the pain but memories will stay forever RIP
