Anthony O. Taylor says
Wasn’t prepared for your departure, but as hard as it is to accept I stand strong in my belief that you have entered into Heaven’s Gates surrounded by family and friends with open arms. We will all miss you here in the physical life, but your spirit and golden memories will carry on. Thank you for everything you taught me and always being a strong pillar and shoulder to lean upon. Our private conversations will forever remain within the confines of my heart. By law we are cousins, yet in life you were always like my mom or an aunt. I love you more than words can express. I’ll see you later tt Dorothy….

Auntie,Dorothy you will forever be missed and cherished in my heart,you were truly my role model I looked up too…At a early age in life you taught me how to take pride in myself and how be beautiful inside and out…I’m going to miss all our conversations we would have…And all the movies with you on hell and heaven and all the miracle testimonials you had to share..Tell my other sweet auntie Sheila Taylor I said hello and I love& miss her as well…I was so happy to know that you named my middle name after to you,that shows the level of bond you and my mom’s had…You was the best sister in law one could ask for to her… And my heart aches and pains for her too,cause she loved talking with you for hours on the phone about the Lord and stuff..You had the biggest heart and great sense of humor….I Love you and may you RIP until we meet again in Heaven someday…😘😒💞
