Testimonials

It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you. I think it brought him much comfort. Tha you for putting that Air Force article of him on your website. I am going to have a replica made of the painting of his plane to give you. Thank you again for all you have done to honor our dad. Love, The Gillilands

My dear friend and neighbor for nearly 10 years. we shared so much over those years expecially cornbread and all kinds of sweets and I enjoyed sharing soups and casseroles,etc but we also shared many more conversations about our lives and experiences.I miss our times together so much,but I know she is in a beautiful place now. Love to the family.
My mom and I are reflecting and wanted to share a story or two about our beloved Aunt Dorothy.
When my mom and dad were first engaged they enjoyed going dancing with Dorothy, Harry and sister (my grandmother) Marie and Bill. What fun times.
When mom asked Michelle to be their flower girl Aunt Dorothy asked if it would be ok to use her Easter dress and put a purple sash on it. Mom said of course, and Michelle was such a doll.
Then when I was born Dorothy and Harry came to our house and brought me a teddy bear rocker. They were so tickled.
I remember going over to Aunt Dorothy’s house in Garland and playing in the back yard while she gardened.
Such a lovely and kind human being. She will be missed.
