My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during the difficult time. As a former student of hers at MacArthur I must tell you she was one of my all time favorite teachers. Just loved her class and her. She was a very special lady that will be missed.
Kay, your Mom was my cousin, known in our family as Sister, Stayed with our Aunt Ferne, in Dallas, and knew you as young girl, when we visited Aunt Jennie Mae, am sorry for the lost of your Mother.
I will always remember her kindness.Remembering you in my prayers.
We only knew Dorothy for a short while at PPUMC. We came to respect her and enjoyed our conversations while taking a Bible class with her. She was so brave facing all her ailments and never complaining. She was a teacher to the end, teaching us not to complain about incidental things in our lives. Blessings, Linda and Roy

Our sincere condolences.
I was a school board member from 75-84, a pilot, a substitute teacher, and a neighbor. Dorothy was a wonderful teacher and neighbor. We lost track of each other over 20 years ago. Our prayers are with you as we cherish great memories. God bless!
