Jerry, Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Dorothy was a kind and wonderful person who is gone too soon.
So very sorry to see this. I know she is at peace now and maybe she has seen Frank up there. But for us, the pain never seems to lessen. You are now and always have been in my prayers. About the only thing I missed when we went on the road was my dear friends. Can’t think of one of you without the other. Raucous bible studies, long walks among the trees, shopping, and happy days with the kids. Miss all of your faces and hope memories and being together help. Bottles of tears are not wasted, but kept by the Lord until we join them. Love you all always. Love, Linda
