My sister, Dorothy Died

My sister (Claudia's sister), Dorothy Alliston, died Wednesday, July 16th. She was 80 years old and 16 years older than I. She had spent the last 10 years in a nursing home in Columbia, MS. Her journey was a painful, emotional one and we are happy that she is out of that pain and with the One, Jesus, Who loved her more than she really understood. She had sparkling brown eyes and an infectious laugh and had a lot of witty sayings... such as, "I don't know if I am washing or hanging out to dry;" or "I don't know if I'm shuckin or shellin'." Truly, may she rest in the peace of our Lord.
