We are so sorry to hear of Dorothy's passing. She was such a wonderful, godly woman and a blessing to all of the people at Karen Acres Health Care Center and to my family. We will miss her, but look forward for a great reunion in Heaven one day.

I never knew your mother except to see her in church. What a wonderful heritage she left with Jan and family. My love goes out to all of you. Our loss is Heaven's gain. I know you will rejoice again in Heaven with her.

Our love and prayers are with your whole family! Dorothy went to church with Tom's grandmother, Isabel Strauser, at the old Calvary on Penn Ave. We pray that God will wrap His arms of love around you and comfort in the fact that you KNOW you will see her again, one day, in Heaven.If we were in the States we would sure try to attend her memorial service! Lots of Love...
