I'm blessed to have known Dorothy for about 54 years. She had a heart of gold and loved the Lord. She also enjoyed laughter....I don't think I will ever forget the sound of her laugh. Our family has a special bond called Janna Smith Kerr. Dorothy and Johnny ask mine and Susans parents to go with them to pick up their baby Janna. God definitely had his hands in joining their three hearts together to make a beautiful family. RIP my friend, was good visiting with you the last few weeks. Also, thanks for calling me by name :kissing_heart:.

We have known Dorothy a long time; went to church with her at 7th St. Baptist. She was so very sweet and friendly; always looked like a fashion model; She was beautiful inside and out. I know you will miss her; so glad you had her with you in your home for a short while.
