Dolly Killion Obituary

I will miss a very lovely person that added a flash of light to my life.

So sorry to hear of the passing of my high school friend. Dolly was always so kind and beautiful and Ill miss her at our occasional luncheons with Chicora High School Class of 61 classmates.

I knew Mrs Killion back in the 60's. Thoughts of her stayed with me through the years. Mrs. Killion was a very Lovely Lady with a Lovely Family. I was blessed to know Mrs. Killion and Her son, Clay.

To Clayton and family:
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am very sorry for your loss. I hope your hearts are filled with loving memories and may you find comfort in knowing that God will bind up the broken-hearted and comfort those who mourn. Isa. 61:1,2

Our heart is broken for you all. Each of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Know that she is watching over you and loves you. We are here for you. Love, Haruko, Evelyn and Rickie

This is a celebration of our beautiful Aunt Dolly whom was my favorite aunt and I was so blessed to have her around when I was growing up. Many times Aunt Dolly would have her nephews and nieces, then small children, over to her home for a sleep over. As we got older she would invite us to her home many times at Thanksgiving. I'm so glad Uncle Carlton met Aunt Dolly. She was one of the sweetest ladies I've ever known. Treating and loving us as if we were her own. I know why mom loved her so much. Aunt Dolly was an awesome lady with a beautiful spirit. Aunt Dolly always glowed with goodness and kindness. I'm sure this is because of her deep faith in the Lord. I will forever miss you Aunt Dolly and will always love you and the wonderful family you brought up.
Vicki and I express our deepest sympathy to Uncle Carlton, Carla, Brian and their families that peace will be with them.

I worked with Dolly for a number of years. She'S a great person and a great friend. I will miss her deeply.

She was tremendous person with a heart of gold. Will miss her warm smile.
