My heartfelt condolences for the loss of your beloved, Corrine. Please know that Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ is aware of your pain and they care for you. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) . I pray that you are able to find comfort in God’s promise of paradise where there will be no more pain and sorrow (Revelation 21:4,5) and the many wonderful memories of your loved one becoming a reality in the future resurrection in paradise. (Acts 24:15). Please accept my sincere condolences.
Thank you so much Fred
To Brother Hirley and the family, we share in your loss of Sister Corrine. Our prayers go out to you, the loving family, our church family, friends and the city of Middletown. Commissioner Dorsey represented us in the political realm from a community perspective; caring about what the future will look like. People complain about what IS, but not many are willing to run for office to influence what will be seen, negotiated and enjoyed beyond their time. As an elected official, I always consulted those there before me and enjoyed our talks. I was very proud of her successful efforts in her latest victory, however she is now in THE Loving arms…. a much better place I am sure. Peace & Blessings. Councilman Faulkner & Family
Thank you so much

To Gwendolyn Muff and Family: We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. II Corinthians 5:8 – Praying that God will comfort you and your family.
