Dorothy I just can't believe you are gone. You were so beautiful inside and out. The last time I chatted with youI told you I want to come see you when I was in Georgia. But had moved and I did not get the chance to visit you. God is so amazing he put it on heart to come and see you. My niece had past with cancer and I was so overwhelmed I could not make to see you. I love you as my co-worker and you always was a hard worker. Even during your sickness you made to work and I did everything I could to make you job easier. You will truly be miss and never forgotten, Heaven has gain a true angel, and she loved her family so dearly you had a great mother. Emmaretta Owens

Sister Dorothy, I'm have been reminiscing about you and our Lynwood Park UCOGIC Family. When I read the news of your transitioning, I saw you praising God just like I remembered you at the home church. You will be dearly missed, but I know that you are rejoicing in heaven. Take your rest Sister Dorothy.
