My deepest sympathy for you and your family during this loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you. May God’s peace fill your heart.
She will truly be missed. Always Know my brother that I am here to give you and your beautiful wife all the support you should need. Just around the corner or a phone call away. (God has covered you with His grace, please walk in it.) Although she gone, she will always rest in your Heart. Love YOU, not just words but I truly Love you, baby brother.
Mama Dorothy gained her wings and is walking on the streets of gold, healed and whole.

Our condolences,
From her family in Memphis Tn
My friend is resting in the arms of Jesus
I will truly miss her
Hello my cousin Sylvester & other family members and friends of your beautiful mother. Mothers are so special there’s no one like them and when they are no more there’s an open space left every where they were. In the coming days, weeks, months, etc… you’ll miss her so much but just remember she’s not suffering, she is asleep, just like Sister Rodgers, waiting for Jesus to wake them up as John 5: 28, 29 reads. Keep that hope in your forefront. I will call in a month or so. It’s been so long since we’ve talked. I look forward to it.
My Sincere Condolences

My dear cousin Sylvester and cousins, my heart ache with you. May you find daily strength and comfort from God’s promise of a future time when death, pain, and sorrow will be no more. When it feels no one else can clearly understand how you feel, then turn to Psalms 145:18,19.
