Oh dot dot how you brightened my day at pioneer ridge, you were always in the mood to stay up and chit chat, you’ll be missed. Rest in peace with your husband and the rest of your families loving souls.
Dorothy was just the best! Dorothy always had such a great outlook on everything. I always felt uplifted after visiting with her. She had a way of telling a story that was humorous. She was a connection to my family go way back. I remember her wanting to see her great grand child and then another. She lived to see them. I will miss her!
Robert and I want to send our deepest sympathy to our brother-in-law, Mark and his entire family on the passing of Mrs. Dorothy. We have fond memories of holidays when “Grandma Miltner” came to South Carolina. She was such a lovely lady! She was also an excellent cook, and we always tried to reproduce those pies she made with mile- high meringue, but with not much success! Our hearts and our prayers are with you as you prepare to release her from her earthly home to her eternal heavenly home. I know the family will have many wonderful memories and stories to share with each other. We send our love to you all.
My thoughts and prayers for the family, I will miss the chats I had with her.
