Mrs. Dunston was always a very stylish and gracious woman. I enjoyed many great times at the Dorchester home and her jovial and welcoming personality. She is gone but will never be forgotten.

My condolences to you Terri! I never had the opportunity to meet your mother but listening to your stories shared over the years you can tell what a beautiful person she was and how blessed you were to have her as your mama. I know that she did an incredible job as a parent because you are simply the best. My prayers during this difficult time and may your mother rest in peace.

Doris had a smile that would light up the room. Miss her singing along with the entertainment. She loved music and the Lord. May she rest in peace and be singing with the Angels now.

Terri and Family,
I just want to remember Mrs. Dunston as I met her in the late sixties. She was a very fine wife and Mother of which I spent very much time at gatherings. Mrs. Dunston was very fine conversationist. She will be missed very much.

I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Mama. I loved her joy and zest for life. She was so kind and encouraging, I loved being around her. Even though I did not have many visits with her, I loved every visit I was blessed with and will cherish those happy memories. I will miss her!

You and your mom were angels on earth to each other. She has ascended to heaven. She is watching over you and will be waiting when the two of you are together in heaven.
Praying for peace and blessings for the entire family.

My mom was my best friend all of my life. We were exceptionally close. As a child, she always made me feel that what I had to say was important. She wouldn't tell me what to do, but would gently guide me in understanding how to make good decisions. I consulted her on every major decision throughout my life and she has always been my anchor during my difficult times.
I loved her, I respected her and I pray that she never felt judged by me as I made my own way in the world. I know she made sacrifices for my benefit. She helped raise my kids and I trusted her judgment as a grandparent. I knew she loved my kids as much as she loved me and would give my kids what she gave to me. What a blessing!
I also liked my mom as a person. As adults, we bonded as women and that deepened our very special, lifelong connection.
I had the great privilege of being her support during the last 10 years of her life. It was a slow fade over those years, and we figured out the roadmap along the way. I was there when she took her last breath - something I began praying for in 2018. I didn't want her to leave this earth without me holding her hand. As she birthed me into this world and I wanted to be with her as she transitioned out of it. God blessed me and allowed me to be there at the end.
I am proud to be my mother's daughter. I will miss her in so many ways, but I have a lifetime of her love to live off of.
She had two major loves on this earth - her family and Jesus. Her assignment on earth was completed on November 9, 2022 and now she is living her eternal assignment with Jesus. That brings a smile to my face and peace to my heart.
