Dorothy died peacefully this morning. She was only a month from her 98th 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Emmanuel, Margaret

Thank you Margaret for this look at Dorothy, inspiring me quite a lot like your wholehearted approach to life does. I've been thinking lately that your expression "the core belief that God is good--all the time" is about all we need to say about good news.

Dorothy died peacefully this morning. She was only a month from her 98th 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Emmanuel, Margaret

Dear Margaret- What a wonderful testament to an incredible woman! Your story of the hot air balloon ride - and fall - while you were in Chicago recovering from a broken ankle - and coming in your wheel chair to be with Marge every afternoon for 4 hours was an amazing adventure. I could understand why she might have crossed parasailing off her list. You will keep her legacy alive as you tell the stories of her adventures to the next generations. Dorothy and your Dad cared for the world in a most extraordinary way. You did not fall far from the tree. Blessings, Jean On Sun, Jun 3, 2018 at 2:14 PM, John Ballard via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net
