Dear Tablariddim (Coss), Thank you for your kind words to Dorothy (our mother). We regret to inform you of the sad and schocking news of her passing. Mom was the bright light in our lives and an inspiration to everyone who knew her. She was the warm hugger of the world and the life of the party. She welcomed everyone with open arms. Mom was an intelligent and kind business leader and made many valuable contributions to the community. She was very involved in our social lives when we were growing up and continued to serve the youth of our community until her recent untimely death. We knew that Mom had many friends who some of us never met but we never realized just how much she had touched the lives of so many until we met the hundreds of people with nameless faces who showed up at her wake and funeral because they loved her and miss her already. We don't know what the boards are but we are not surprised that Mom is being missed. She would have told you that she appreciates your concern. Thank you. Please take comfort in knowing that Mom was not afraid of death. She welcomed God's will. All of us did not believe in an afterlife and God as she did but then she made her own spirit known by communicating with many of us during the couple of days that followed her death. We, and the hundreds of other people who attended Mom's funeral were held spellbound and in awe when we all witnessed the opened hand of God literally reaching down and taking up Mom's spirit. The tears of sadness which filled the church suddenly changed to tears of heartwrenching joy. It was the most magnificent thing that any of us had ever seen. Mom comforted, loved, helped and took care of so many people during her short life. Now God is taking care of her. Take care and God bless. Dorothy's children. I think I speak for all of us here when I mention the shock and sadness I feel at the loss of our own Truestory, may she rest in peace.
Tab and others, This is indeed heartbreaking news, I e- mailed TS just yesterday and unfortunatly was not aware of her passing away. If you have contact with her family please pass on to them my sincere and heartfelt sadness. Even though I have only known her for a short time her ever strong faith in the face of any oposition will never fade in my memory. Lord, I thankyou for the witness of your child that we knew as Truestory. For her enduring faith and a heart that would reach out to others so that they to could become aware of you as she was. She will be sadly missed in our lives and discussions, however our hearts will know that she is by your side, resting in the shadow of the almighty. Amen Truestory. With deepest affection and love.

Ah, Truestory! This brings tears to my eyes. Though she and I didn't see eye to eye on many things, the world is a poorer place for her absence. She and I have differing religious beliefs, but I hope she has found bliss. I will ask the Mother to keep Her eye upon our friend, and a candle will be lit in her rememberance. Rest in peace, Dorothy, in light and in love. The cycle of this life is done, but as cycles are wont to do, it will begin anew.
Goodbye TS, We love you and we'll miss you. You're calling completed, I'm just so glad that you heard it. Tell Jesus I said hi, and that I love Him. We'll see you soon. Thank you Jesus for the witness in her. ------------------ You may think I'm a nut, but I'm fastened to the strongest bolt in the universe.
Tab, Thank you for passing this information on to us, and thank you to MoonCat who let me know about it via email. I didn't agree with Truestory on many things, but I am saddened to hear of her passing nonetheless. I feel especially sad that she didn't get to see her grandchild, who is due in April. I hope she is indeed in a better place. Merry part, Dorothy. You will be missed. ------------------ www.indigenousrocks.com
I don't really know what to say. I'm happy that she's Home but,... I know that her family is hurting. I know I'll miss her. There are things I still wanted to say. I thought so much of her. Please, fellow Christians, pray that her children and many more would come to know Christ because of the light she shined for Jesus. She can't be replaced. AMEN God Bless
I think we are all in agreement.. that regardless of the different views we may have ....TS was a wonderful and special person!! She will be missed greatly.
Words fail me. All I know is that Truestory now has all of the answers to all of the questions we have asked and argued about. Farewell, dear friend.
I hadn't visited here in months, and wansn't thinking of coming back. Yesterday for some reason I felt compelled to see what was new, and I came right to this. Wherever you are TS, thank you for your inspiring words and true stories.
This is something I never mentioned before, but something I felt quite often and it's this: If I wasn't such a cynical, unbelieving old bastard such as I am, I would have sworn that Dorothy was an angel of God. Her gentleness, intelligence, faith and seemingly genuine near perfection most always shone through her postings. I can't get her untimely demise out of my mind and I truly miss her, even if I only knew her as a bunch of words on my computer screen.. I am now seriously waiting for a message from her to us.Sincerely.
tab, Dorothy left you a lasting message. She wanted you to, more than anything, get to personally know her Savior, Jesus Christ. That was and is her great Love! Peace, ISDAMan P.S. Where is Micah? Does anyone know? [This message has been edited by ISDAMan (edited March 05, 2000).]
Hi Tab, Just so you know, what you felt and saw in her, was Jesus. That's why she was ever even here with us to begin with, and that is what I was referring to when I thank God for her witness to Christ. Jesus is not who many of you want to think He is. If you want to really know how He is, then think of the love that was shown through our buddy TS. *S* And praise Him, for this is what our praise is about. Not undue, not out of fear, not for our egos, or to feel "right", but for His love, that is our only salvation and our only hope in this world. It is real, and He is real, and He really loves you. ------------------ You may think I'm a nut, but I'm fastened to the strongest bolt in the universe.
Truestory - I hope you have finally found what you are looking for. I myself don't view death as death, but a larve becoming a butterfly. Farewell Truestory, you will be dearly missed! ------------------ .Religion is for those who fear hell, Spirituality is for those who have been there.
