I dearly loved Aunt Lera. Anytime I saw her, she had a smile on her face. I never heard her say a harsh word about anyone. She loved with her entire heart. She will be greatly missed. Due to my own health, I won’t be able to travel by myself. I will be there in thoughts and prayers. I will be praying for her children, grandchildren, and the rest of her family. She is now with her husband, Uncle Jimmy, and other loved ones who have gone on before her. When she took her final breath here on earth, she was in the presence of the Lord. What a joyous time to look forward to when we all get to Heaven. Love Sandy
Family of Lera Dorsey, Donna we are sorry we cant make it but yall will be in thoughts & prayers..Wayne &Angie
