THIS IS A TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF DOROTHY,

I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an after glow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun
of happy memories
that I leave when my life is done.

NOTE: In accordance with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear’s recommendations concerning the COVID-19 Virus there are certain limitations in attendance allowed. Visitors were ask to be aware that upon arrival to comply with certain regulations set forth by the Governor's office concerning funerals.
