Mark, I never realized how much you look like your mother.
Craig & I want to let you know that we are thinking of you all during this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Paula & Mark what you two did for Her was pure beauty and love. You gave Her Her dignity all the way to the end. I know She appreciated that even if She could not tell you. Love, Viv & Craig
Dorothy, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May you rest in eternal peace with God. Mark & Paula, I hope your sadness is lessened by the knowledge that Dorothy was blessed to be in your good hands for her final years here. What a terrific example of selfless love you two have been. With love, John
Louise and I Are the parents of Paula, Mark Ray's wife. We only had the opportunity to meet Dorothy a few times, but could relate to her as coming from a large family. We have 9 children of our own,and can only wish and pray that the "love of family" her parents passed down to Dorothy and her siblings can be duplicated in our own family.While visiting Mark and Paula we would hear Dorothy say"I want to go home" many times.Some people thought she meant back to her own house, but now we know she meant back home to Mozell and her deceased siblings! May God grant her eternal rest and joy to be "back home"! Paul and Louise Pavloff
We remember Aunt Dorothy always smiling and happy to be around family. She truly enjoyed herself around her sisters and brothers, visiting and telling stories. Our lives have been blessed by her presence. We should always remember the love our parents, aunts and uncles had for each other and strive to pass that legacy to our families. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
To Dorothy and Moe's Children and Grandchildren Just want to share the thoughts we may have about now… That your Mom is "safe in the arms of Jesus", and " I Can Only Imagine" that blessed reunion with her Mom and Dad, and with Moe, Robert, Kyle, and her Brothers and Sisters there awaiting the rest of us. My memories today are vivid of years ago as we grew to adults, and went our way, but always staying close and helping each other as we were taught, and I will always remember that Dorothy and Moe helped us get our start, and we appreciate that, and we will miss her. God Bless You All Unk Bill
I will always remember Aunt Dorothy, she always had a smile on her face as she came in the door at our family gatherings,so happy to see everyone! Thinking of you and your families this week. Love, Lisa
Phil & Barbara, Karen, Mark & Paula, I'm smiling thinking about Grandma and Aunt Dorothy sitting around a big picnic table listening to Helen and Rayburn argue while Mary, Bobby and George laugh. With Uncle Mo planted firmly there at Dorothy's elbow wondering when he will get a word in edgewise. I know she sits safely in the Lord's arms and I pray you take comfort in that. Love, Susan
