Thank everyone for your kind words concerning our Mother, sister, daughter, aunt, cousin, friend and more. Our mother meant the world to us, and words cant express how much we miss her already. Even in her weakened state, she would still declare that she "Cant Complain".

Thank you all for your cards, food, etc that you have rendered to the family. We hope that you would always remember our mother for being sweet, hospitable, and an all around great person.

It would be a large slap in the face to God to say she is in a better place. For she is in THE place of all places, and she is rejoicing today.

Thank you

Terrence J. Dooley

Our Precious Sister Linda has indeed taken flight with the Lord! "Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest." (Psalms 55:6) We believe and trust God that our precious sister has accepted "her wings" and answered the call of the Lord. Additionally, according to the word of God, because of her great faithfulness, she has received the "crown of life." (Rev 2:10b) We thank God for the privilege and opportunity to have met and enjoyed wonderful fellowships with the Dooley family. The love shown to our family during our visits to Columbus reflects and exemplifies the power of God's awesome compassion and love! We will forever hold these precious memories in our hearts. We continually pray for strength and peace. May the Lord embrace the entire Dooley family in His loving,caring and capable arms.

Terrence I adopted you as one of my FB god-children and I want you to know that you and your entire family are in my prayers. We as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ know that God's word is true especially when it says to absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Oh, what joy we have knowing that mother is resting in the bosom of His arms. I pray strength for the Dooley family and I'm thanking God for the Precious Memories that will always linger in your hearts.

To the Dooley and Freeman family. I know how it feels to lose your mom. No matter how old you are, it always makes you feel like a child again. But God is so good and you know your mom was ready. Keep that in mind as you go on with your daily lives. Remember, you will see her again if you stay with Jesus.
