    For Doreta →Shadow Box Image

Doreta I love you. I wished we had married. You were beautiful and fun. You were a good Companion. I was deeply saddened when I read about your passing. I feel I always will be. You wanted everyone to remember your beauty in the past, and not The Doreta now. And was happy by yourself, you loved what the kids had become. You talked of the past that maybe some of them do not remember. I’m glad you are now in a much greater and better place where you can find true peace and happiness. I leave these words for you, as I loved you so. True Companion: When the years have done irreparable harm I can see us walking slowly arm in arm Just like the couple on the corner do cause girl I will always be in love with you And when I look in your eyes I'll still see that spark Until the shadows fall Until the room grows dark Then when I leave this earth I'll be with the angels standin' I'll be out there waiting for my true companion Just for my true companion

I know it has been along time since we have spoken or have seen you all but our prayers and thougts are with each of you. Please fill free to call if you need us. My number 270 733-0056. In case you don't recognize the last name, it was Vowels. I'm Goldie Wermlings granddaughter. We love you all, Arnold, Vowels, Wrights & Wermling
