My deepest sympathy to the Anderson Family. David, I only wish I could say something to give you the comfort and peace as you did for me when Brownie died. Please know that your family is in my prayers.
I am so saddened to hear of Ms. Dorothy’s passing, she was such a lovely lady and such an inspiration to all of us in Pack 138. Her strength, humor and good heart touched us deeply.
To the family of Dot,
We were friends of Dot for several years mainly as members of the Sprinkle/Bagwell Sunday School Class.
Dot was a wonderful person, friend and Christian and we were privileged to have known her. Please accept our sincere condolences.

I and the Shelton family would like to express our deepest sympathy to Dot’s family.
I had the opportunity to visit with Dot on several occasions over the years. I will always remember Dot as a caring, compassionate, and tolerant person who love her family and had a positive influence on everyone she met.
Dorothy was a Very Special Person to me. She was an Answer to Prayer, when I needed a Gentle, Kind, Friend in my life. She always had an encouraging word, and a big hug. What a Precious, Precious Child of God She was. Dorothy always put others first, helping, encouraging, feeding us. She is someone I shall never forget, never.

My dad, John Wilson, sister and brother (Keith Wilson and Lori Boone) and I had the pleasure of spending time with Dorothy in May 2009 when we were in NC for a visit. What a sweetheart. We so enjoyed our visit. I know we will spend eternity with her and have many more visits together. My condolences to her family. I’m sure she will be greatly missed.
I am a second cousin to Dorothy – my dad, Jack Wilson, is a first cousin. My sister, brother, dad and I spent an afternoon with Dorothy in April last year, where I met her for the first time. We had a lovely conversation and thoroughly enjoyed the family history that she was able to share. So glad I was able to meet her. My condolensces for your loss.
Our prayers will be with Dorothy and with her whole fmily. May she know the joy of being in the Lord’s presence.
Dottie, Chuck, David, & Andy,
I loved your mother like my own for so many years. I have no idea why I was moved to look at the Asheville newspaper tonight .. I’m sorry I didn’t know sooner .. she was probably the kindest and most patient woman I have ever known and I have thought about her (and y’all) many, many times over the last 30 or so years.
I hope you are all doing well.
My love to you all,
Beverly
