My beautiful Aunt Dorenda, thank you for your generosity, your kindness, your advice and for just being there to listen when I needed you! Thank you for all the great memories I will carry in my heart of all the good times we shared! I love you!

Dorenda I know your free from pain now and dancing. We will all miss so many things about you, your smile, the way you love your family,and your wonderful laughter. Just know your babies are being taken care of. I will always love and miss you my sister Dorenda Rose.

I never thought that when I was in the 4th grade and knew you as "Chris & Jackie's mom," that one day we would be family. Aunt Dorenda, you are beautiful inside and out. Now that you are free from the physical ailments of an earthly body, you can dance freely and forever!! I love you and miss you, Amity

Aunt Dorenda you were a beautiful, loving, and caring lady. You loved your family and friends with all that you were and it showed. You are and always will be truly missed. There is an emptyness left  in our hearts that will last forever but "I bet its so nice up in heaven since you arrived!" Until we meet again sweet lady I love and miss you dearly.

Dorenda, my dear friend, I have no words to describe what your death means to me.  I still can't believe it's real.  I look for your "liking" one of my Facebook posts, I imagine you're in your house down the street and pick up the phone too often to call you and find out what's really going  on.  We still had lots left to do.  More movies and glasses of wine to share.

May you rest in peace Dorenda, my neighbor. I will always remember the good times at the races with you and your family. You will be missed, I will certainly miss you.

Lovely memories from a long time ago of your beauty and the love you shared with "Jackie", my nephew whose father was Ralph J. Paulette, Sr.  It is a comfort to all who read the heartfelt tributes left here and will be a treasure for the family to read in quiet moments.  God Bless All of You.
