The love of my life, Doretha (Dee, Sweetie Pooh) was truly a virtuous, compassionate, generous, and loving wife to me and mother of our children and grand children. She is truly missed and her passing left a deep void in my life-however thank the Lord for His presence in helping me get thru the past year. Not a day goes by where I don't miss her or those precious memories and fun we enjoyed together for more than fifty years. She was always my best friend.

Belated but sincere condolences on behalf of myself, Cynthia, and the Green family, Ronnie, Robin, Chubby and my parents Jackie and Robert, who spent four lovely years as next door neighbors to the Jester family on Preston Street, during which time I watched Doretha blossom into the beauty that she always remained and whose love story with her Prince Charming I always admired and remember to this day. Please be comforted and trust in God's grace and wisdom during this time in your lives, and go forward with the belief that there will indeed be joy in the morning.

My expression of love and dearest memoirs of cousin Doretha in this precious note: She was a light to her family and others, as she lit the pathway of life sharing her gifts, talents and labor of love. She walked that extra mile often with a quiet smile, in spite of... So I say 'rest' with Christ little flower, in your glorious new garden, for this special hour. "DEB"

Mother and Daughter

August 3, 2015
by Dorvera Owens

Mom shared unconditional love for me. She had a heart that was strengthened by God . It enabled her to love in a way that most people are unable to understand . She walked in forgiveness . I saw this in her life and was blessed by it. She Was my mother, but she was also the best friend I have ever had.

Disney World Space Mountain

September 16, 2014
by Dorvera Owens

A long time ago, when I was about 10 or 11 years old, we went on a family vacation to Disney World in Florida. It was a grand time and after listening to "It's a Small World" over and over on one ride, my brother Jamal and I were excited about going on the "Space Mountain" coaster ride. As we waited in the long, long line my Mom kept reading the warning signs posted about the ride. She kept saying how she hated roller coasters and this was not a good idea. My Dad kept trying to assure her that it was not going to be as bad as she thought, but it did not help.Finally it was out turn to get on the ride, and Mom and I were going to sit togehter and Dad and Mal were going to ride together. Just when I was about to sit down, I turned to see my mother fleeing towards the exit. All you could see was her purse flapping behind her as she ran for her life. I was devasted...but it was too funny to be upset...

We have teased her and laughed about this for years. She never abandoned me again, but we never tried to make her ride a coaster again!
