I miss you every day. Theres not a moment in mylife when your not somewhere in my thoughts.. Unless I am sleeping, and usually you find your way into my dreams.. I need you.. You left me way too soon.. Wait for me.. I will be there before you know it. Tell grandpa I miss him, give Sammy and Twinkki kisses for me, I am sure they are with grandpa by now. Until then..

Tina, words may do little to ease your sorrow at this time but know that I am thinking of you and your family, and that Dorothy is in a better place with no more suffering.

patriarch...Mom, I really don't want to be. I will always have you in my heart. My humor was from you. Love ya,

Your Granny will be fondly remembered by me and, I'm sure, by all who had met her. I consider it an honor to have known such a wonderful and kind woman. I will never forget when she told me, being in a wheelchair at the time, that she wanted to take a ride on my jet ski. Now she is in a place where her body will never refrain her from doing anything that she desires to do. The world needs more people like this amazing lady. My heart goes out to you all...

From Cousin R.C. McElwain & Wife Ruby
     I haven't seen Dorothy since the 50's ! Always had a good time when her mother and dad and the family would come home to our house and spend a day or so. May God Bless and watch over the children!  Ruby & R.C. Toledo Ohio

What a lovely picture of Dorothy. I know her family will miss her so much. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all in this time of sadness.

Granny you mean so much to me and I'm coming to grips that you won't be here anymore. I am so happy that now you and grandpa are together again. But I will always keep the memories that I have with you close to my heart. I love you and a day won't go by that I won't think of you. Thank you for everything you did for me while I was growing up, and for all the conversations. You were always there for me and I know that you always will be. I LOVE YOU

My memories of Aunt Dorothy are many. The ones I will remember will be of our marathon bingo days. She and I would spend from morning to almost the next morning moving from one bingo hall to the next and we had the best times. It seems ironic that coming home from vacation I found my bingo chips in the back of my trunk. I always called her "old woman" which to me was a term of endearment I don't think she took it that way but I loved that "old woman" and she will be missed.

Tina and family....my thoughts and prayers are with you as you lay your Mother/Grandmother/Great-Grandmother to rest.
Celebrate that she is now playing bingo with our Lord...she has no more suffering, no more pain, no more sorrow...and one day you will be together again...

My heart goes out to you and prayers of comfort.

My Momma, my friend.  Take care of her Dad, you always have.  Together forever! We love you.  Tina & Bob

Granny.. I do not understand and I am not sure I ever will.. But I am told life/death is in God's plan. Knowing this doesnt make letting go any easier. I will miss and thank of you ever day, until I take my last breath and come to see you. Granny you have taken such a very big part of me with you. Theres a new void in my heart right next to grandpas. Please kiss grandpa for me and tell him I miss him dearly.. Granny even though I do believe in God because you taught me so many things about him as a child growing up, I am trying so hard to find comfort in you leaving.. The only thing that soothes my soul is I know your not here hurting anymore, The pain that has been within you for far too long has now sub-sided and is a thing of the past.. The promise that I made you years ago, the one I was going to have to break, broke my heart each and everyday when it crossed my mind, which was often.. I thank God that he didnt make me do this and that you werent afraid to help take the guilt away from my heart.. You will forever live on in our hearts.
