She was only a month from her 98<sup>th</sup> birthday. I think she crossed off everything on her bucket list except riding a horse on her birthday this year. After going up in a hot air balloon last year, she crossed off parasailing.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Dorothy was an incredible woman who took on all of the challenges life presented with joy and determination. She married my dad, Bill, when they were in their fifties. She is the only grandmother my children ever knew. She traveled to Peru with Heifer Project and after surviving that trip, took on all possibilities. They went to Columbia and Guatemala and even represented Heifer International on its tenth anniversary all over China. When Dad decided to go to Israel, she put her foot down—only for a little while before she decided to join him.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Dorothy raised a family of six, doing what was necessary to keep their lives together. She loved her family and adopted my brother and me immediately. She stretched herself and expanded her love to include grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren from many relationship configurations. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Her faith was her mainstay. A serious question would send her to the Bible until she discovered either affirmation or good reason to change her mind. Neither changed her faith, the core belief that God is good—all the time.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I could bore you all for a long time when really what I wanted you to know is that a true Saint has left our plane of existence and will be dearly missed.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Emmanuel, Margaret<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span></p></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>OE mailing list<br><a href="mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net">OE@lists.wedgeblade.net</a><br><a href="http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net">http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net</a><br></blockquote></div><br></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>OE mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net">OE@lists.wedgeblade.net</a></span><br><span><a href="http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net">http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net</a></span><br></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
