Condolences
Our older sister Sally knew Mrs. Dot as well and often saw her at Food Lion (where she works). She, too, thought so much of Mrs. Dot as did our Mother, Y-Genia Crossland.
I know that Mrs. Dot is with her heavenly father and Mr. Porter. She will always hold a special place in our hearts. God bless you all and give you comfort during this time.
Your Glenn Street Church Family
