My very sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Dorothy. "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him in the last day."- John 6:40 She now safely rests in the loving memory of our Grand Creator, waiting for the time when we get to welcome her back. The grievances of our hearts never go unnoticed, Our Creator is very aware of our pain (Psalm 56:8) and yearns to bring about the fulfillment of his original purpose for us and the earth. -Revelation 21:3-5.. I hope these scriptures give you peace and comfort and a good hope as you are navigating through this very distressing time. Sincerely
BS

I have many fond memories of Dorothy and I singing in the church choir at St. Paul's. I also would take walks by her house and would stop and tell her how beautiful her house and yard looked every summer.
God has gained a wonderful lady who will sing in His choir too. May she rest in peace.

My name is Carol Ellingsworth. My mother Lorraine Crosier was a good friend of Dorothy. She was also a paralegal and a member of St. Paul's. Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. I got to know her thru my mom. She was a really neat lady and will be missed by all.
