Dorothy I am going to miss the talks and games we played all the time online together. You are going to be missed by everyone. The good part of this if any is that you are no longer in pain. You are now among the other angels that are in heaven. I love you and will miss you.
Although I did not know you well, I do know your daughter, Christine, very well…..and you must have been amazing to have brought such a kind, loving, honest (to a fault almost!), fun loving girl into this world. Thank you for that – and happy trails to you – rest in peace
So sorry to hear of Dotties passing. We have so many wonderful memories of Florida, camping and a wonderful friend. May God bless the family and l guide you thru this hard time.
Larry, Greg, Paul and family please accept my condolences for the loss of your wife, mother and grandmother. Greg, I remember she told me to keep you safe while racing.
My deepest sympathy.

To Dorothy’s family, My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. I only met Dorothy a couple of times while she was visiting her granddaughter Renee in Myrtle Beach. She was so pleasant to be around and made me feel like we had known each other for ages. She will be missed by all that were fortunate enough to have known her.
I followed you through your wonderful daughter, Linda, and through I came to know what I wonderful and loving person you were. And from that I know that you are an angel now watching over and loving your family and friends from afar but never too far.
Tom,
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Always here for you…
Lorie & Ted
I am so sorry for all of you…losing your mom is so very hard. I know there are no words that can ease the pain, but I hope knowing how others love and care for you will give you strength and hope. May the peace that goes beyond understanding guard your heart and mind.
Our condolences to the family;
Psalm 23:4
Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

Lynda, David, Christine & Larry,
I am speechless as I was unaware that Dottie had been ill. Having known Dottie and the 2 oldest children through Barbara and Charles many years ago and waiting the birth of Christine we were so close then. Then as life moves on and time changes our direction we drifted apart but still were in touch but less frequently but she was never out of my thoughts and never will be. So many memories!

Dearest Dorothy,
We are sorry for your passing from this world but you are now at rest in an awesome next world in eternity. You will be missed by all who knew you. The times I remember your company is when with the Johnson clan would get together for family functions and was so nice chatting with you. I’ll miss your Candy Crush invites, it seemed you would invite me on a weekly basis! Your were a bundle of fun and I’ll miss seeing you. You have a wonderful family who loves you so much. May you rest in forever peace.
My Memory Library
Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.
I’d put the moment in a safe,
within my hearts abode.
I could open it when I wanted,
and only I would know the code.
I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me,
through everything I’ve done.
I sat and thought about what moment,
would always make me smile.
One that would always push me,
to walk that extra mile.
If I’m feeling sad and low,
if I’m struggling with what to do.
I can go and open my little safe,
and watch my moment through.
There are moments I can think of,
that would lift my spirits everytime.
The moments when you picked me up,
when the road was hard to climb.
For me to only pick one moment,
to cherish, save and keep,
Is proving really difficult,
as I’ve gathered up a heap!
I’ve dug deep inside my heart,
found the safe and looked inside,
there was room for lots of moments,
in fact hundreds if I tried.
I’m building my own little library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you,
before you had to part.
I can open it up whenever I like,
pick a moment and watch it through,
My little library acts as a promise,
I’ll never ever forget you
I didn’t know Dottie, but I knew Larry for more than 60 years and I feel your pain. May God’s grace and peace bless you all.
