Dear Dora I remember you as a girl at Oak Hill school, a friend at the country store, a friend to Roy.  a Relative at Mtn Creek. Our moms loved each other. Now you are an angel looking after us hear on earth.
Sadly there have been more robberies. What these people take does them no good. May the hound of heaven get them. No Jail. Just fall on their and repent and be saved by Jesus blood. Love from Patsy & Roy
and memories or our moms.

I did not know the Faulkners but live just a few miles from their home. Watching the funeral procession pass by today was so touching. There were so many mourning their loss. Much sympathy to the family members and many friends that they leave behind. God bless!

Our friendship of over 38 years will be treasured forever.  My heart breaks that I will never see your smiling face and hear your wonderful laugh. May you rest in peace and you and Jerome have a wonderful 30thy anniversary in heaven on the 13th.  As the mint tin you had on your 25th anniversary  said  you two  were Mint to be together.

Dora was a classmate of Wanda Bagbey Harris and mine at Oak Hill
and at Webb. We both have great memory of school and other activities that we were in together. She will be remembered for her pleasant disposition and never meeting a stranger. We will miss the both of you but we have assurance of Heaven has gained two more souls to praise God. Thank you for being you!

I have known Dora over 38 years, She  was such a good friend that I know when I called, she' be there and have all the anwers that I would need.,  She so loved her cats and   I remember one day talking to Jerome he had found a dead cat on the road and   know Dora get so upset when one die, he went and buried it,  to his surpirse Dora cat was home that night eating with the others, he had buried someone else's cat.    I can rest knowing they were together right to the end and today they are together in heaven.    Their love for each other was one of a kind.   they love their God, their church, each other and all their family and friends. I will miss you  Dora and will miss  all of our calls, cards and    your smile and laughter.

May  all the famiiy know they were loved so much by so many.

My world was shaken when I heard the news of Dora's passing. I worked with Dora in the Occupational Health Clinic at Revlon. I will always remember her love for animals, family, friends and most of all her love for GOD. Her wit, laughter and bright smile will never be forgotten. I pray the family may find some comfort from those left behind and know that you are not alone during this time of mourning.
