To Gail & Family,
I knew Ms Dorothy for many years. She was a good cook and had a beautiful voice. I remember the times we were all in fellowship together at Hopewell Temple C.M.E Church. I pray the family keep her precious memories in your heart and that they will give you strength and comfort in days to come.
Love, Gwen & Family
