What an awesome example of a Godly Woman. Aunt Dorsey was one of the sweetest women we have known. She always had a smile on her face. She will be greatly missed. We know she is rejoicing in heaven with Ken and her daddy wishing we could all be there to celebrate with them in the presence of Jesus. We love you all and are praying for you daily! Please let us know if there is anything you need!
Love,
The Buckners
Having known Dorsey since she was a little girl with beautiful brown eyes. I always felt she was my cousin and I adored her dad David. She is indeed with the Lord, her dad and husband who adored her as everyone who met her.
Sorry for your loss! The family is in my prayers!
A dearer friend could not be had. Many miles and many smiles together. nine years at CarePartners together. Painting murals on school walls together. Oil Painting classes together. I could go on and on. Camp Caswell was one of her favorite trips. I love her and will miss her greatly. Hard to find true friends. She was just that. A wonderful Christian example to her family. I have a hole in my heart, but God will reunite us again someday. God speed Dorsey. Give Bill a hug for me.
The family will be in our thoughts and prayers. We loved Dorsey very much and will miss her greatly.
