We will miss Dorothy’s happy face. She was always cheerful and smiling while on earth, but her friends and family in heaven may have matched that joy when she greeted them this week. She always thought of others, and this may have been the source of her grace. She was nice to everybody,and we look forward to meeting with her in her new home.
Dorothy was a woman of God who lived for Christ and His gospel. Her example of faithfulness and perseverance inspired me through the years to be faithful to Christ.
We have a rich spiritual heritage from both sides of the family and that has undoubtedly helped us to have the spirituality that we have. The trials she endured would have caused most people to just give up, but she persevered. Now there awaits a great and eternal reward for her in the presence of her Lord. ‘It will be worth it all, when we see Jesus, one look at His dear face, all sorrows will erase, so let us run the race, ’till we see Christ’�.
Love to all,
