Dorothy was a kind, sweet lady. We will miss her here at Walmart. I know I will miss seeing her on my way out everynight and talking to her. She was loved and appreciated. May you rest in peace, sweet lady. I will pray for her friends and family during this difficult time.

Heaven has a new Angel today. Dorothy was born with her heart on the opposite side of her chest from the rest of us because God knew it would be too big for her chest. No one ever loved harder or was more devoted to the people in her life. I will miss you and love you always my friend.

Lord I sure do miss her now There's holes in the floor of heaven and her tears are pouring down That how you know she's watching Wishing she could be here now And sometimes when I'm lonely. I can remember she can see There's holes in the floor in heaven And she's watching over you and me.
