Texarkana, TX Sunday, August 13, 2017 Dan and Tammy, words can not express my grief. She was such a part of my life for so long. I remember Christmas Eves when she would cook such a large meal and we would all open presents. She was a bigger kid than anyone. She loved having fun and I will never forget that. On Christmas Day we had the Bailey reunion. Those Bailey girls always had a good time. I will always cherish the memories from that part of my lifeCarole (Doss-Johns) Rushing
Woodlawn, AR Saturday, August 12, 2017 To the family, please accept my sincere sympathy on your loss. I knew Dorothy most of my life and always was very fond of her. The years she put up with me, 'fixing' my hair' we had some of the best talks.Praying the Lord will give you the peace and comfort that only he can
give at a difficult time like this.

Wilmar, AR Saturday, August 12, 2017 Dan, just thinking about our younger days and when your Mom "allowed" us to destroy her kitchen while making our famous homemade onion rings. And as if that wasn't enough, because I was five months older than you and had my license, she would let ME drive her car so a bunch of us could go to Monticello and "do whatever" (wasn't it a Fairlane, white I know). I know I'm rambling but it's just my way of saying remember the good times. Sorry I can't come to the funeral (Boots will explain), but know I love you and your family.Sharon k. Jockenhoefer
