Aunt Dorothy was such a ministry to everyone. She remembered birthdays and holidays always with words of encouragement. She carried burdens in prayer and didn’t entertain thinking or talking about things she’s couldn’t change. Aunt Dorothy was such a tremendous help when I was taking care of mom (Erma, aunt Dorothy’s older sister) as mom was dying. She helped answer questions and was so encouraging through the 2 month process. Aunt Dorothy is the last of her siblings (Martin family ) and she will be so missed. I love you aunt Dorothy.

So many memories I really don’t  know where to start. 
Dorothy always made everyone feel like family. 
We were forever running in and out of each others house.  We had the best of neighbors and friends growing up, Dorothy was famous for her delicious cookies and bread. We were always ready and willing to be taste testers!  She was always sewing something for someone. 
She would braid mine and Kerry’s hair quite often. It’s these little things that really mean the most.
She always made sure that I received a birthday and Christmas card every year. Including this year. And she would write her special message to me. 
Dorothy was like a second mother to me. Kerry , Betty and I have shared a special lifetime of friendship. More like sisters than just friends.  I attribute this to our moms. 
 Our mothers are once again together.
Dorothy I will deeply miss you . Thank you for all your love and care that you gave to all of us. 
As you always said to me . “I Love you “ 




Dorothy Pastine influenced me in ways she never knew. 
She showed me a kindness that was unwavering, faith that was unshakable, and showed me a Christ-centered love when I was unlovable.
Her faith was always rock solid. She never stepped to the right, or left, of her well lit path, and I dug that about her.
Her encouragement always gave me the much needed strength to face this "crazy thing we call life".
And, she never missed the opportunity to mark any, and every, occasion with a welcomed card!
Dorothy, see you there............

Dorothy, I will miss your warm smile and our lunch dates whenever Carol came to Denver. You were truly a woman to emulate, in family, love and faith. Thank you for sharing all those qualities with us. I will cherish the Christmas card I received from you, the day after you died, as, not only  a Christmas greeting, but as a blessed fair well. I always knew that I could count on receiving a religious Christmas card from you, because you, as I, always celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. Rest In Peace with the Lord, Dorothy. You will be truly missed.

Aunt Dorothy was a beautiful, loving, strong Christian lady who loved her family so much.  I loved our phone calls when she gave me support and love.  She never spoke badly of anyone.  She remembered all of us on birthdays and at Christmas, including sweet notes.  I’m going to miss her so very much, but I know she is in heaven looking down on all of us.
I love you Aunt Dorothy 

When Mom entered Heaven, no question the words which greeted her were "well done, good and faithful servant."  Dorothy Lois (Martin) Pastine was a believer, warrior and saint, and the true matriarch of our large and extended family.  She has six children (Carol, Lynda, Jeff, Craig, Sydney, and Kerry) but "adopted" and loved many more as her own.  On her 91st birthday on Halloween, she received some 30 cards and a day's worth of calls.  Before she left us, she mailed 100 Christmas cards – a sweet and lasting touch.  

We all, along with our children (Maddie, Brittney [Craig], Justin, Nichole, Sean, Joy) and their kids will cherish the times and million memories created from a life well lived.  God bless you, Mom…
