Dorothy always paraphrased addressing others with "Dear" showing how much she loved people. She lived the embodiment of the Lord by her life of devotion to God accepting others unconditionally with love. I will always be thankful for her encouragement, gifts and the memories of Des and Dorothy. Thank you, "Dear Dorothy" for making me feel part of your family. God bless her families.

I was able to watch Aunt Dorothy's memorial service last evening. She had such an impact and will be missed by all who knew her. My husband and I don't know any of you. I recall the 50th anniversary celebration hosted by my father, Sterling Theobald, so long ago when Bruce and Judy were very young. Lynn, you weren't in the picture yet. We know there is much to do now to release your mother's earthly possessions and other details. May you find joy in remembering her as you go through that process.

Thinking of you with love as you farewell your dear Mum/Gran. Dear Dorothy been promoted to Glory to be with her dear Des after a life well lived for Jesus.

Take strength as you grieve together the passing of Dorothy. We join you in spirit in the wider family of our Lord

To Lynne and family, Thinking of you, especially for Thursday's Service. So glad it is being streamed. Joining you in giving thanks to God for such a faithful servant of Jesus and wonderful praying friend from BCNZ days and since. Thank you too Lynne for your recent updates via Glenda. Very much appreciated. 'With Christ, which is better by far.' Philippians 1:23 With love, Helena Stretton.

Our Love and comforting prayers are extended to all of Dorothy's family at this time. Murray & Chris Pulman

Our love to all the family. Wish I was there xxx

Many Blessings to you all as you mourn the passing of a beautiful Mum and celebrate the life of a faithful servant. Gone to the arms of Jesus & to be with dear Des. All the best for Thursday & Friday. At present I’m away in the S.I. My thoughts are with you & will watch the livestream 🙏🏻
