Patsy and family, we are so sorry for the loss of your mother. Praying for you all and thinking of your mom and dad and the happy reunion going on in heaven today.
To All of the Family,
Our sincere sympathy is extended to all of you during this most difficult time. Be assured of our thoughts and prayers.
Family and friends you have my deepest sympathy. This is a difficult time for most. There are basic things that can help anyone get through the pain no matter what age, gender or religious beliefs. Many have been helped with the twelve basics or just a few. You can go to jw.org and get the basics with no cost ever. See the article “Help for those who grieve “ in the magazine section. Anyone can get help and comfort.
Aunt Dolly’s always been a class act, a sweet and kind soul. Her strength, integrity and self reliance is a reflection of a generation never to be seen again, and of a family born of love. Some folks you just know have found their way to peace and their final reward. Aunt Dolly is one. For all of her family, Love you guys. David and Terry Thompson
I will forever remember Aunt Dolly as a beautiful, loving and caring person. She always made you feel special and loved and when I think of her, I smile. She left us with many wonderful memories. Aunt Dolly loved her family and had a special bond with my Dad. She missed Uncle Jimmy very much and now they are together in Heaven where they will never be parted again. I love you and will never forget you, Aunt Dolly. Our family now has another angel looking over us.
Dear Patsy, Eddie and the Latham Family. Our sympathies and prayers for Grace, Peace and Understanding.
Dolly was the sweetest soul, and I enjoyed our conversations.
She also was apparently was a fine spaghetti chef, as I heard about it many times from her friends she cooked for.
Rest peacefully, Ms. Dolly! We’ll miss you.
Love,
Jessica D.
Patsy, Jimmy and Larry
There are no words that will ease your pain right now and only time will make it easier. We lost a great friend and you lost a wonderful mother, but just think of the joyous reunion she and your dad are having in Heaven. You now have another bright star shining on each of you and also another angel looking over you. We are here for all of you, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to call.
Patsy, Jimmy and Larry – my dear cousins. It’s hard to accept Aunt Dolly’s passing, looking at the picture of that beautiful face and remembering the wonderful things she said and did for me, and many. She was someone to be proud of. I was looking forward to spending more time with her after dad passed, but, now, not meant to be. She gifted me with many handmade crafts so perfectly prepared. I will treasure them forever and keep her memory in my heart and prayers.
