I am mourning the loss of my Aunt Dorothea Daniels of Cedar Rapids Iowa. Since her death Sunday afternoon, I have cried my eyes dry. I am very blessed to have spent many days and nights with her and will cherish all of our fond memories forever. I know I kept Aunt Dot on her toes many times but she loved every minute of it! RIP Aunt Dot. I love you!

My sincere sympathy on the loss of your mom. Remembering how much I enjoyed her when visiting in your home, oh so many years ago, and then when I would see her on occasion out in CR and she would always remember me. What a dear lady she was. It is always tough to have our moms gone from earth.As I know since my mom died almost three years ago. Please let me know how I can contact you again, Trish. Would love to catch up with you. God be with you and comfort you through this time. Helen

We are so sorry to hear about Dorothea. Seems like she lived a full life. We are sure your family has many wonderful memories of her. At times like this the Bible comforts me so much. Jesus said in John 5:28&29 there would come a time when those in the memorial tombs would hear his voice and come out. This would also be at a time when Revelation 21:3&4 says there will be no more tears, pain or death. This would all happen when God's Kingdom comes, the same kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for in the Lord's Prayer. What a wonderful prospect for Dorothea and all those in the memorial tombs now. We express our deepest sympathy. We hope you find comfort in this time of loss.

If there is one common thread that was woven into the fabric of my life since I was in high school, and I am now 56, it was Mr. and Ms. Daniels, and their family. I say Mr. and Ms. Daniels, because I have never addressed them any other way than with my deepest respect. Dave and I went to high school together, and he convinced me to join the Marine Corps with him in 1974, as his father did before us. Since then The Daniels house, as I called it, was like a second family and home to me. Upon return to CR throughout the years, I would visit the Daniels house, and Ms. Daniels was normally there. She was like the glue holding the fabric together you might say. Even when Ms. Daniels and Pat visited Washington DC, I made it a point to see them while they were in my neck of the woods. To Ms. Daniels family I am truly sorry for your loss. As for me, I am not saying goodbye to Ms. Daniels, to Mr. Daniels, or to Dave, because I believe the spirit of those you love never fades as occasionally the wind whispers that they are safe in the hand of God, and I smile knowing they will always be with me.

My prayers are with you all during this difficult period, I can't help but to think my own personal loss was around this time too. My heart grieves with you. Pat, you are strong and you will get through this. I have seen you at your finest and this too will be one of those moments that you will triumph. You did your best, she was with you til the end. You served her as you have all of your family, you are blessed because of it. I am proud of you. Continue to go forward; let's stay in touch always. Your colleague in law school, your friend for life,

When we first received word of Dorothy's death from daughter Pat, I remember feeling several emotions, in the hours and days to follow:

A sense of shock--Dorothy
was committed to daily exercise and health INSERT INTO guestbook VALUES (she and my mom had met, playing on the same softball team, in the early 1950s--exercise was
a welcome and vital strength in her life.)

Sadness--Dorothy loved life, and
loved people; gentle,
concerned, sense of humor, great smile; we
always looked forward to her Christmas cards, and
occasional notes in mail.

Mostly, an assured peace-
Dorothy had a strong and
genuine faith in the Lord, that expressed itself in her love of life, and her love of those she loved. Her son,
Dave, died too young just
a few years back; Dave and I were good friends, in school. I know that
his death, and Earl's,
were difficult times for her and Pat.

It gives me a sense of
deep comfort, realizing
that Dorothy now is in the Lord's Presence; Dawn and I even more look forward to joining
her, and Him, and to
helping others "get ready
for heaven".
Thank you, Mrs. Daniels--
we love you--
