To my family GOD is good GOD is great HE is GOD and GOD alone. HE looked down and saw Dorothy needs and called her by name and she answered. To be absent from the body is to be present with The LORD. No more pain, suffering; no more Mon through Saturday, every day will be like a Sunday. So family it is okay to cry, okay to just sit and stare, okay to reminisce. GOD understand how you feel. I pray that The Love of GOD surrounds you like the Tallest Mountain and The widest Sea and the Deepest Valley. May GOD always bring joy to you all during those sad days when you will miss Dorothy the most. May GOD bless you all with love. From Andrea Lafayette-Blake & Family
