My most sincere condolences to the family. Aunt Dorothy was one of a kind, an unforgetable lady. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

To the Family,

Our prayers are with all of you. Ms O’Neill raised more than just here children, she helped raise the community. We must never forget that she was a true hero in Charleston. From my early years on Spring St (1962-1965) until the last time I visited her in 2006, she always brought a smile to my face and willing shared her wisdom. I am so sorry I couldn’t make it for the funeral, but I want all of you to know that I will miss her and that with time you will all come to realize that she continues to live within all of us. God Bless all of you!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Tony:

The Campbell's (Preisident St) and O'Neill's (Spring Street) were old neighbors during my childhood in Charleston. Your mother represents the passing of a rich era in the city of our birth. Your family has been favored and blessed to have had your mother for so many years. Her legacy will live on through all of you.

To my family,
Although I am not there today, my heart is full thinking of Granny and all of you as you celebrate her home. As I sit at my desk here in Tampa, I have a photo on my desk of Dad, Page, Lindsey and Adam and Granny in Nassau, The Bahamas. Everyone remembers how much fun that trip was! I remember how Granny got tired of being pushed in her wheelchair and Dad (Buddy) sat in the chair while Granny pushed him.
Sorry I can't be there with you today but the kids and I are there in spirit.
Aunt Janice, I love you. Thanks for taking such loving care of Granny.

To Maggie and her siblings:

It is never easy to lose a mother, but thank God she left you all with so many fond memories. As the holidays appoach, remember how she would do things and don't forget to put the humor in it for her and camille. I am praying for you all.

God bless you.

To the entire O'Neill family,

My deepest sympathies to you all. Because of George and Gus, the O'Neill family has been like my own. Although I hadn't a chance to see her recently, Granny always treated me warmly.
My love goes out to you all.

Tony and Family,
My deepest sympathy is extended to you and your entire family. I will keep you in my prayers.

May God continue to bless you and your family, because it's a blessing to have your mother for 97yrs. We wish that they can stay forever, but they don't belong to us permanently. God giveth and God taketh away. Weepeth endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning. Our prayers with you and your family. Love the Charles A. Brown Class of 1980. We love you. Mary Joleitha Taylor-Solomon

I married Granny's granddaughter, Staci. I met her before we were married and I think she knew, as Staci and I did, that we were meant for each other. She was the first person in Staci's mother's family to welcome me in. After a brief visit with her, she got up and made me black fish stew (much to her family's surprise as I don't think she did much cooking any more). Then she made me fudge for the drive back up to D.C.. I will always remember Granny as the person who welcomed me into Staci's family and will always love her for that.

Anthony and Mole Marguerite and O'Neill Family:
My sincere condolences to all of you in the losss of your Mother. May the memories you have of her be a comfort to you now and in the future. Anthony you might not remember me, but I was a teacher in the Depatment of Business when you were a student. Mable B. Wright

May God comfort you and your family in this time of seperation from your mother and grandmother and may he fill each moment of reflection with joy knowing that she is resting with the one that created and purposed her even for this moment.

Pat,
I know this is a very hard time for you and your family, but the Lord knows His business and does it quit well. Mama Dorothy is in a much better place, without pain or misery. I pray that everyone will stay strong and lean on each other for strength and support to get through this trying time.

May God be with you,

Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates... Dorothy O'Neill has made the sacrifice, she has made her mark, now GOD has decided to allow her to receive her reward. Our prayers are with you Tony and your entire family.

Family-

As I sit and reflect, I realize there are many words that can describe grandma. However, the ones that stand out for me are... strong, bold, witty, humorous, proud, and blessed.
Behind each of these words are stories that will bring us a warm smile and/or laughter as we sit around the dinning room table.

97 Years... thats a looooong time. I am proud to be one of the 41 grandchildren.

Much love to you all. I will see you soon.

To the O'Neill Family
You are all in my prayers. How blessed you are to have such a wonderful mother, for so long. She was a very special "Mom" to all of us who met her & the delightful family she created. Looking @ her, was like looking @ unconditional motherly love. It was a blessing to be there for her 95th birthday. God has another beautiful flower in his garden tonight.
Love to you all,
Carmen B. Alleyne

Dear Ken, Jackie & Family,

I know your mother only through stories that you have told; but, reading the many expressions of sympathy, I realize what a remarkable and loved woman she must have been. I am certain her spirit, courage and love will remain with all of you. My heart goes out to you and my prayers are with you. Love, Jeanie Hart

O'Neill Family,
We are saddened by your loss, but we know that God will stengthen and sustain you. Our prayers are with you.

Lawrence, Beatrice, Jennifer,
and the O'Neill Family,

My deepesr sympathy to you on the loss of your loved one. My prayers are that God will comfort and keep you during this time of sadness. May you feel His healing touch as you go through this grief period. God gave you many years with your loved one. May your memories of her and her loving spirit bring smiles to your hearts as you trust in Him that she is in perfect peace and freedom with Him. God Bless! (Matt. 5:4).
Love and Sympathy,

To Tony, Janice, Marguerite and all of the other children, grandchildren and relatives:

Mrs. O'Neill was a strong and loving mother, one who, when her children are leaning toward being weak, can draw from her as a model of personal and motherly strength. She lived a life in years that most of us in these modern times seem not to be able to achieve. However, considering all of the victories of life that she met and accomplished, I will tell you that "only the test of iron makes fine steel."

"Though her soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light. She has loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." I say to you, bid her a good day, for morning has broken for her. God is Life, Life is eternal, and just as God could never cease to be, neither could she, having been made in God's image and likeness, as we all are, as Spiritual Beings. She has been released from the bondage of her five limiting senses. She is now free and unlimited as a part of all there is - God.

Pat & Family,
Our prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. Please know that although her physical presence has past, your mothers spirit will always be with you.

Dear Pat, Our deepest sympathies go out for you as you go through this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
God bless you.

To The O'Neill Family,

A mother's love is one that can never be replaced, but always remembered. Your family has been blessed with her love and her many decendants. Reading this obituary is a glimpse into Charleston's living history.

You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Pat and siblings,
I was sorry to hear the passing of your mother. We heard many wonderful stories from Pat and they made us think we knew Dorothy. Keep remembering all those precious memories of your mother. Sincerely, Vickie and Dave Williams

My prayers are with the family at this time off sorrow. May God bless, and keep you.

Grandma was a strong and beautiful spirit who has blessed us with love and her presence in our lives for ninety-seven years.
Although, she has gone to be with the Lord, she will be with us in spirit eternally. I love you all and will see you soon.

Maggie and family,

We will keep your family in our prayers.
