My heart is just broken. Never have I called a patient "Mom-Mom" nor will I ever again. I have lost my one and only Mom-Mom. Rest easy.....and wear lipstick.

During ones life time many paths, visions, pains and realities are crossed just as well as joys, happiness and certainties. But if one is very fortunate in this life you are given a special gift to have had just one person entered your life who has a smile that can light up some of your darkest days and is also one of the most percious, kind and giving human beings to have ever been a part of your life. Then you can feel that you have truly been blessed and for me that was my dear sweet MARION!! To the family I just want you to know you are in my prayers and I love you very much just as I loved Marion.  Please know that when ever I look at the stars in the night's sky I know one of the brightest stars in the heavens has been placed there to light our way to ever lasting life  our beloved MARION!  With God's Love And Mine Too.

Bea, Benny, Kevin and Priscilla,

My condolences go out to you and the entire Dorsey/Brown family during your time of mourning.  May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you at this time.  I will always remember the beautiful smile on your mother's face everytime I saw her. She always would ask, how are your parents doing and tell your Mom I said, hello.  Your Mother was a gem!  And she would always say how are your kids doing.  She always had a kind word to say everytime I would see her. Your mother loved everyone and was truly loved by many.  May she rest in peace and may the Lord continue to bless all of you.

God Bless and He is Worthy to be Praised!

Love You Guys,

 

Shirley Dixon
