    Connie & Jeff & all Dorothy’s family;

    Our sincere sympathy in the loss of your dearest Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandma. Dorothy was a kind and wise woman. She had admirably strong opinions and an even stronger faith. I have many fond memories of visits with Dorothy (& Glenn) over several years. They were highly valued customers for a long time. Our thoughts and prayers remain with you all at this time.

    Dear Connie, Jeff and family. Dorothy was such a treasure. Both Glen and Dorothy greeted us at Community Bible Church and made us feel so welcomed at our first visit. They were there to strike up a conversation every time we came to church.
    After a while, Dorothy became my prayer partner. Her devotion to the Lord was so evident in everything she said and did. What a brilliant light her life has been for so many people. The love and gentle heart of Jesus was exemplified through her.
    Our sincere sympathy to you and may the good Lord cascade his comforting peace and love into your hearts always. ❤️

    A few times in one’s lifetime someone come along and makes an indelible impact on some area of your life…..As a boy, and later as a young man growing up in Usborne Twp, my neighbor, Dorthy Jeffery would take moments to impute into me, somethiing from scripture, or something that the Lord was currently doing in her life. It definitely caught my attention, and over the years it would continue when we would randomly meet. Dorothy always had a word of wisdom and certainly encouragement to pursue a relationship with the Lord……Dorothy became one of the building blocks in my foundation of faith.
