  7. I thank you for your love and friendship from the start of our relationship. You were my maid of honor almost 38 years ago when I met the love of my life, your brother Eugene Ward, and because of that, you hold a special place in my heart. I will miss you, but I know God had a plan for you. I will cherish the memories and hold them close to my heart. Your birth date came up on my Facebook timeline and I saw your pretty face and realized that I will not see that face on this side again, but I look forward to seeing you on the other side. Rest in Peace my beautiful sister.

  9. We worked with Dorothy and Frank for many years at San Diego Transit. We were all bus drivers. From the day we first met Dorothy we knew she was special. She always seemed to have a welcoming smile and was a pleasure to be around. Dorothy was part of our Transit Family. After we all retired, we kept in touch and looked forward to the Retiree’s Luncheons where we got together and shared stories from our past. Words can’t begin to describe how much we will miss Dorothy. We know she is in Heaven making God and everyone there happy. God Bless You Dear Friend and R.I.P. Love you, Jim and John
