Dear Brother Bruce and Boys, I regret I cannot be with you during this time, but be assured my heart is there, and especially my prayers and love! I have written a Tribute to Dorothy that Pastor Dan will read in my absence at her memorial service. Dolly and I have precious memories of Dorothy. We are so thankful for her faithful testimony down through the years at Eagledale/Crosspointe. Her life was quiet but powerful, her smile so contagious, her spirit so affable! What a privilege to be her pastor. You and all of yours are loved during this time, Pastor Arrowood - (Sent from Yangon, Myanmar)

I worked with Dorothy for three years at Open Door Christian School. I looked up to her as an example of how she lovingly dealt with the children.

I have known Dorthy and Bruce for over 30 years. First through Eagledale Baptist Church, then Open Door Christian School, and later as just a dear friend. I remember when my first son, Dale, was in highschool 25+ years ago and I didn't want him to go to a public highschool, as the one near us was so awful. I talked to Dorothy about she and Bruce possibly being a "ward" for Dale so he could attend Speedway Highschool for all 4 of his highschool years. Without hesitation they said "yes". So, Dale got to attend and graduate from Speedway High School and because of that and his training in their vocational program, he paints and repairs Formula 1 cars, Indy cars, sprint cars, etc, for teams all over the US and world. The opportunity for Dale to learn this trade would have been impossible had he not attended Speedway High School. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Another wonderful memory - my three younger sons, Dustin, Danny and David, had Dorothy as a pre-school teacher at Open Door Christian School. She loved my boys and did I ever know it! She loved all children! I'm so thankful my boys were under her loving care and guidance while they were little! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I am so looking forward to visitng with Dorothy in Heaven some day. It will be a wonderful reunion! We will miss you, Dorothy...you were a wonderful person and your friends and family will never forget your incredible generousity and spirit!
