It has been such a pleasure to have known and enjoyed Dorothy. Dorothy was truly bigger than all outdoors. Dorothy's warmth, love and caring will never be forgotten.

I am sure Dorothy is reciting Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "Crossing the Bar" and toasting to the wonderful family she left to cherish the memories spent with her and the exemplary life she lived.

Crossing the Bar by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

God's Peace, Dorothy, and thank you for sharing your life with so many.
