Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
To the family of Dorothy H. You don’t know us, but your mother traveled with us many times over the last few years and we had such a delightful time with her. She was such a fun person to have on the bus – very easy to please. We have happy memories of her, and we know that God will sustain you in this time of grief. Fondly, Jim and Cindy Leach Jim & Cindy’s Tours
Robert, I can’t imagine the loss you must be feeling especially today, Mother’s Day, as you loved and respected your Grandmother so much. I always admired the amount of support, care and love you had for her and know she loved you deeply for it. May her passing comfort you in knowing she is in a peaceful place and will suffer no more. Thinking of you today, my friend.
I worked at Grasslands Estates and alway enjoyed Dorothy. She was always one of my favorite clients in the beauty shop. I have thought about her all the time since she left. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. She offered so much wisdom to me. She was very caring and loving to everybody.
Thank-you Robert for involving Dorothy in all our fun activities at Faith- it has been a joy and privelidge to know and work beside your beatiful Grandmother, her warm smile will be so deeply missed at Faith. My thoughts and prayers are with you,John, and your entire family during this difficult time. God Bless, Holly
I was so sorry to hear about Dorothy. My grandmother was Fairie Joy Barrett Ratcliffe, and I enjoyed getting to know Dorothy during the Barrett Reunion in the early ’90’s I have appreciated the Christmas cards and photos that have been sent to me in Dorothy’s name over the past few years and think I have Robert to thank for that. It would be nice to have some of the family addresses…Robert, Michael, etc. if that would be possible. With deepest sympathy, Joan Dufford Buhrer
