Grandma, this would be among the last times I would get to see you and Grandpa on a regular basis while I was stationed in Fort Rucker, Alabama in 2003. As I deployed overseas, Grandpa passed away and I wondered at the time if it also would be the last time I would get to see you again. Yet after returning, I was blessed to still get to have you in my life for another 22 years until now. I am deeply saddened that you are now gone, but at the same time I am grateful for all the time I got to spend together with you at the reunions until this point. I am grateful you finally got to met Angel and Angelica. I am forever grateful to God that he let me have you in my life, especially for this many years. I love you and will miss you always!

Grandma, this was the first time we met in May of 1978. From there, I would frequently see you during the summers as I was growing up. Your presence in my life was the light of my childhood as I grew up. I am forever grateful that God blessed me to have both you and Grandpa in my life.

Our condolences to Dolly's family and friends in these difficult times.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Dolly at Connie and Jeff’s wedding, and she was just so lovely and kind. Connie has shared her adventures, trials and tribulations through the many years, and what she accomplished in her life was amazing… and the many losses, heartbreaking. Dolly leaves an amazing legacy, especially in my dear friend, Connie. Connie’s mom (and dad) raised such a kind-hearted, fun-loving, generous, selfless, and humorous daughter… and I’m so grateful, because they gave me one of my BFF’s for a lifetime. The hole in all of your hearts will last a lifetime, but my prayer for you is to fill it with all the fabulous memories daily and think of the amazing heavenly reunion they’re all having. Love and hugs to all of you 🙏 Our deepest sympathies, Lisa & Kent Rayborn

Four Generations 🩷 Eternal rest, grant unto Grandma, O Lord.

I am heartbroken to hear that Mrs. Dolly passed away. I loved her dearly. I was her hairdresser for years and we had some truly great talks. She always gave me good advice and love! I also, loved Karen. Jeanne

Leaving a beautiful photo of Karen and Mom-- of course entertaining at Karen's house. I know these two are in heaven now--taking care of the rest of our family and my husband Jeff.

My mother was the ultimate Mom--she could cook, sew, entertain, manage a house full of children and pets, all while being a fiercely independent and loving presence every single day of her life. I will miss her more than anyone can imagine. Love you Mom-- Connie
