WELL DONE GOD's FAITHFUL SERVANT 💜🦋
I worked with Dorothy Perry at RDSS and the salvation army, What a lovely and fun person to be around. When I suffered eyes problems, she personally came to get me, take me to babysitters home and to work and in the evening the same, without ever protesting. EVERY night and morning she was including in my prayers. I can still see her eating chicken wings with those beautiful nails pointing straight up and tissues when she laughed so hard she cried. To the family I am sending prayers for the light of God's face to shine on you in the darkness of grief. love you Loretta Adkins
My condolences to Tiffany and family. I pray they all find comfort in knowing you are resting peacefully in the arms of your father. WELL DONE MRS. DOTTIE THY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!!!!!

Dear Delphine, Melodie, Tiffany, and James, We are so sorry for the loss of your mother. In this life, she was generous beyond words; had a servant's heart for every individual in need; was faithful and committed to her God, family, friends, and community; and, had a smile and laugh that lit up a room. In her new life, she is rejoicing in the presence of her Lord and reunited with loved ones that preceded her arrival in Heaven. While we all know that she is now whole, healthy, and no longer suffering, those of us who are left to cherish her memory miss her and are hurting in this moment. Ric knew her and loved her before I arrived in Richmond; she took him into her heart as a son and called him one. When I started working at The Salvation Army, she welcomed me as her daughter. Over 20 years ago, when Ric and I decided to get married and she knew that my parents had chosen not to attend our wedding, your mother stepped in as the mother of the bride and made our special day the most special day of our lives. Her legacy is her love for others and service to all; that legacy lives on in each of you, your families, and the thousands of people who she touched while she was here. My prayer is that your comfort will be found in that love as you move forward in your lives. We love you and are here for you during this difficult time of adjustment. Eileen and Ric Farrow
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
