Greenville, TX Tuesday, October 25, 2022 Mrs. Dorothy was such a special person in my life. We lived across the street from them several years. My son was just a baby then and he always wanted to go see Mr. Troy and Mrs. Dorothy and they loved on him like he was their own. I will cherish those times until I see them again. ❤️Mildred Matthews

Farmersville, TX Sunday, October 16, 2022 What an Honor it was to have been able to work with Ms. Dorothy for quite some time. I loved being around her and listening to her tell me what I needed to know about cleaning when I started working with Dorothy. When we would have to get some cleaning done in a hurry at the church her Motto was "JUST GIVE IT A LICK AND A PROMISE". Dorothy was loved by all who knew her and the Kindness, loving, and caring Precious Lady she was. I know she will be missed by all who knew and loved her.Myra Hurse Wrenn
