GOD SAW YOU GETTING TIRED AND A CURE WAS NOT TO BE. SO, HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND HE WHISPERED "COME TO ME". WITH TEARFUL EYES WE WATCHED YOU FADE AWAY. ALTHOUGH WE LOVED YOU DEARLY, WE COULD NOT MAKE YOU STAY. A GOLDEN HEART STOPPED BEATING, HARDWORKING HANDS AT REST. GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE TO US HE CHOSE TO TAKE THE BEST. IT'S LONESOME HERE WITHOUT YOU. WE MISS YOU MORE EACH DAY. LIFE DOESN'T SEEM THE SAME SINCE YOU HAVE GONE AWAY. WHEN DAYS ARE SAD AND LONELY AND EVERYTHING GOES WRONG, WE SEEM TO HEAR YOU WHISPER "cheer up and carry on". EACH TIME WE SEE YOUR PICTURE YOU SEEM TO SMILE AND SAY "Don't cry, I'm in God's hands we'll meet again someday".

The Alderman/Dorsey family wishes to say thank you for the many comforting messages, prayers, phone calls and many other expressions of kindness and concern. Please continue to keep our family in your prayers.
