Our deepest condolences to the Family. It was a pleasure serving in the Nursing Home Ministry with Ms. Dolores. She always displayed a compassionate heart and a gentle kind spirit towards the residents, staff and her ministry partners. She will be greatly missed.
Thanks so much for the hospitality shown to us in your home during our Bible School graduation. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed sharing good food, laughter and pics. This is a memory we will always cherish; your heart-felt genuine acceptance in sharing in our joy by celebrating with us. When I think of "Dolores" I see "Love in Action". Rest my Sister.

Dee was like a big sister when I was growing up. She always was my role model. What a lady she was & that's how she always carried herself! I never heard her say anything negative about anyone. She was always there for her parents caring for them when they became ill. She was always there for Donny as well. I will truly miss her. But I definitely know that she is in God's house because she was the ultimate Christian always ready to nurture, love & provide spiritual guidance to many. Love you Dee; Sherry Pollard Bradford & your extended family in Connecticut.
Gone from our sights but not from our hearts. Thank you Jason for allowing me to share in the memories and be part of your family. May God rest her soul and ease your heart. Love Ali & Terry Darwish
So blessed to have met my beautiful Sister, Dolores, at World Changers Church Intl. She is truly a warm, kind and generous person. When I would visit her we would talk about God & share things about our children and have some good laughs. It was joy to meet her & have her be a part of the O.A.S.I.S. Ministry for Seniors & travel with us! I too was also blessed to be gifted with those delicious sweet potato pies. I'll see you again my Friend & Sister.

Aunt D accepted, welcome, and embraced me and it meant more than she or anyone would ever know. She poured love into me during some of the most challenging times of my life. I give thanks for her and honor her greatness and kindness. I know she will be with Us in spirit always. I send love & hugs to all my beautiful loving cousins and family and pray for peace and love to shower over you like never before. May the light of God guide you and the love of God become you🙏🏽

To The Boyd Family: "Jesus said, Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27 NKJV) Our prayers are with you. John and Janyce Moreland, WCCI Nursing Home Support Ministry
Dee you have always had a special place in my heart. You were there for me the day my son came into this world. We have spent lots of time laughing and crying together. That's what families do. I was so happy a couple of weeks ago when you thought about me and called. I knew at that time that would be our last conversation and I felt you just wanted to say goodbye in your own gentle way. You fought a good fight and you never wavered. You were a strong woman and a great mother to your two sons. I know Donnie will miss you as well as your niece and nephews. You have truly touched so many. I want you to know it has been an honor to have shared this time with you and I look forward to seeing you again on the other side, my sister. Thanks for always loving me and Ennis. Eleanor
My deepest sympathy to Josh and Jason they loved their Ma. Also to Don and our young men, Dean, Drew, and Ennis. Again my deepest condolences. Love, Aunty Diane
When I moved to NH, I lived with the Funderburgs and shared a room with Dolores, slept in her late sister, Dianne's bed for about a year. Before I moved to CT, I didn't know I had relatives in NH. My cousin Jack, who lived in NYC told me who the Funderburgs were and how we were related.

We bless the Lord for the life of ministry and love lived by our dear Sister Dolores. Having the opportunity to serve in ministry with Dolores in the Nursing Home Support Ministry of World Changers Church was more than ministry, it was a gift. Our Sister's humble and compassionate spirit, blessed not only the residents of the nursing homes in which she served; but also blessed the Team members with whom she served for many, many years. Even after Dolores could no longer walk into the doors of those nursing homes, her spirit of generosity and love continued to bless our ministry beyond measure. Our Sister lived life to its fullest and enjoyed sharing her experiences. When Roger and I visited Dolores in her home and at various rehab facilities, she always welcomed us and excitedly engaged us in detailed, hearty conversations, accompanied by many pictures, of her trips with her sons and especially ones of her adorable grandchildren. Sister Dolores' physical presence will be missed by all; but the spirit of her resilience, strength, faith and love will be with us forever. Dolores made a mark that can never be erased because, truly, she was "Graced to Serve!" Separated from us, but never separated from God's love (Romans 8:37-39). For the family, we lift prayers of faith for your comfort and peace, in Jesus' name. Amen! Roger and Remigia Nordé, Directors WCCI Nursing Home Support Ministry
We offer our deepest sympathies to the Boyd Family. May your mother Rest In Peace. With love, Relli and Joe & Sandy Natarelli
We offer our most solemn sympathies to the Boyd family. May your mother Rest In Peace. With love, Kahlil (Taadow) Mosley and family
I don't recall when you adopted us all, but you did. I don't recall you ever asking us if we truly believed in our dreams becoming reality, because you believed in us. I don't recall you getting sick because you've always been so effortlessly strong. Your voice and demeanour was lowkey, but your soul & spirit was HUGE! I do recall the last time I saw you. I do recall you transporting all of us knuckle heads to from destinations at the drop of a time, day in and out. I do recall you putting us before yourself. I do recall you putting God in the front of EVERYTHING YOU DID, and having the utmost faith and trust in his map of life. For that, I know where you rest, and I know that his house was open to you the moment you arrived. Just like your house was open to us the day you met us.
Thank you Aunt D....for everything! -The Ellis Family (College Park)
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
