Deepest sympathy, love, prayers and comfort to all of Dorothy’s family. I have so many happy memories spending time with all at cousin gatherings or at the Headley Columbus homes, Dorothy’s Fort Myers home, and her apartment in Waverly. When I was new to Columbus, she invited me to spend holidays with them if I could not be back with my home county family. Dorothy was such a kind, caring Christian person. She will be deeply missed, but we know she is at peace and all can join her again. Love and hugs from Carolyn.
Dorothy was a joy to work with and an inspiring witness to her Christian faith. May God’s comfort and peace be upon all the family.
Linda and family so sorry to hear of you Mom’s passing you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Linda, Rick, Randy, Nancy and families,
Our sincere sympathy to you and your families. Your Mother left all of you a great legacy of Christian service. Her memory will live on in your lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Sincerely,
Mark and Virginia Berenschot
