I pray that I never forget your smile or the sound of your voice. You have loved me unconditionally for almost 35 years, never leaving or doubting me, always there to pick me up and dust me off and tell me everything would be alright. I’m lost without you but knowing your not suffering or in pain makes it worth the pain and lonlines I feel right now. I know your in heaven with a new body, I can picture it now you and daddy dancing and laughing. I love you Momma more than you will ever know.
your mama was such a sweet woman. i remember when i first moved to asheville and dot made me feel so welcome. she always would talk my ear off lol. she will surely be a beautiful angel in heaven. love and prayers.
Remembering the first time I met Dorothy brings a smile to me. She embraced me with all the warmth and humor she was known for. We became fast friends and always had something to talk about. I love her and will miss her.
