Another picture of Dorothy, Bob and Dan Edwards at Dan‘s 80th birthday party, July 2019.

What can I say about this beautiful woman except that she has always been kind and caring and just a beautiful person.  I was married to Dan Edwards of Commerce City, we always looked forward to seeing this wonderful couple at various Adam’s City school reunions and Adams City Fire Department functions.  Hugs to Bob and family.  Dorothy will be missed by many.  May the love y’all have help fill the void in your hearts. (Picture from Dan Edwards 80th birthday, in Conifer, July 19, 2019.)

My fondest memory of my great grandma was when we gathered at her house to play pool during thanksgiving.She would make the best stuffing.The only thing i want to do now is give her one last hug

My fondest memory of Dorthy is when I brought home my first baby  from the hospital.  He was dressed in his little t-shirt, matching shirt, sweater, pants, hat ,sweater along with the required baby blanket.  It was July and he was screaming blue murder.   Dorthy said, “Give me that baby!”  She ripped off all the clothes except diaper and t-shirt!  Instant silence!  It was probably 90•!
Dorthy acted as my mother for all the firsts with my first born.  We lived in the little house on hatchery.  She was invaluable to me.  
I only have loving memories of her.  A wonderful woman.  I hope she looks up my son in heaven and continues to help.  


dear Bob,      Thank you for letting me know about her death. I wanted you to remember a memory i cherish when i was a child dorothy s parents always took me to basket ball games. I am glad we have such wonderful memories to cherish of our loved ones who have gone ahead of us.       Love your friend Evalyn Blood

I really can't remember when Dorothy wasn't part of my life.   She and Bob were great friend with my parents Kenny and Elizabeth Holmes.  Dorothy had a terrific laugh.  She was kind, caring and always a delight.  No doubt she is in heaven with my folks and they are waiting for us to join in the fun.  Thank you Dorothy for your love.

I entered the Brokerage business in 1982. I don't remember the exact year I met Bob and Dorothy, but it was a few years after that. 
I remember Dorothy as being extremely sharp, and one who had a great talent for detail. But what I will always remember more than anything is how welcoming and caring she was. I truly felt like a member of her family, and enjoyed and treasured every conversation and visit we had over the years. I always believed it always "starts with the moms", and her family is a great reflection of who she was, and the example she lived by. . 
I feel her loss deeply. She was a genuine person who cared about everyone. We've all lost someone very special. I know I have.
God Bless you Dorothy.
With Love, George 

Dorothy was not only a dear friend, but she was a spiritual mentor to me throughout my life.   She was a faithful prayer partner and support to me in every ministry I have participated in from church work to my years as a missionary and pastor.   What an incredible lady.   I enjoyed her sense of humor and wisdom.   I will miss her - but not for long.  In light of eternity, a few years here will not be long to wait to see her again in glory.

Mom and Dorothy used to joke that whatever their assignment or "job" in Heaven, they were pretty sure they would be working together in the kitchen during the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.


Dorothy was nothing less than a grandmother in my life since day one.  She gladly accepted me into her family, and I have been blessed with her kindness, faith and love.  She set a standard of how people should treat others and has been an example of faith in the Lord and a love of life and family.    Throughout my 44 years, I don’t think there has been a missed birthday card (for myself and then my children!) and definitely never a missed Christmas card.  She was there for my first in-person Bronco game (and several other Denver games throughout the years).  She was in attendance for a surprise appearance at my college gradation and there as my honorary grandmother for our wedding.  My life and the lives of my wife, Ali, and our sons have been so greatly impacted by her love.  She made the world a brighter, better place and is someone who will be truly missed.  

I used to attend Sunday morning bible study with Bob and Dorothy. We all took our turn in reading the study book. When Bob and Dorothy read it just melted my heart. They were so inspiring. I thought ohh how they would make the perfect grand parents. I would of loved them to read to me as a child, but I got the honor of hearing them as an adult. It was a honor to meet two beautiful people such as these two. I really love all the members of open door fellowship you were all beautiful people. Dorothy is now with the Lord and we should thank God for a wonderful Lady such as Dorothy. She will be highly missed.

Dorothy was a great lady of prayer.  Our conversations were never less than an hour long on the phone.  Her wisdom and grace were gently shared with those around her.  Even though our day to day contact was not available the past few years, we always knew our faith was shared and prayers of concern given.  We will miss her here but know our eternity will be shared.

To Bob and Family; Rene' and I are so sorry. Dorothy was a very special person to us and to the Historical Society. We are deeply sad about this and we are sending our love and condolences to all of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Rene' and Debra Bullock

Dorothy was the kindest person. She was so loving and took everyone in as if they were family. I am truly blessed to have known Dorothy and am thankful for her love. Thanks for being my step-in grandmother at my wedding and for loving my family as if they were your own.
