| To the family, Dorothy knew my Mom & Aunt Frances Goodwin well and always visited when home on furlough. I feel like I grew up knowing & the Missionary work which she did for the Lord; in the then distant Pakistan. Very fond memories of her. Hoping you knew more of what she did all those years ago. [Back in HS, I met & married my wonderful husband & moved to Canada; but was often back visiting & helping with my parents until their homecall]. Our sympathy to you who remain at this time.

I have worked with Sr. Dorothy Dagenhart in the hospital for quite a long time. She has been an inspiration, a teacher and a great role model for me and all the staff at the hospital. Her life showed her love for Lord jesus and i am very sure that she will always be remembered in the hospital for her untiring work and humble service for the Lord!My heart is saddened by the loss but I believe that she is in a better place. I am with her family in spirit and I pray for their comfort. My heart felt condolences are with her family and loved ones! May the Lord be with you all. I am very sure that Jesus is proud of all her humble services in Pakistan as well as wherever she went.

| Dot was a special person in every life that she touched. She was Aunt Dot to me or Big Dit. She called me Little Dit. I only got to see her every 4 years or so when she came home on furlough, but each time was special for me. Did you know that Dorothy means "child of God"? She certainly showed me that we are all children of God.... I love Aunt Dot and will remember all who go before me to prepare a place for me in my heart and miss each Aunt and Uncle and Mother.

| So sorry to hear of Dorothy's death. We were school mates and friends for a long time at Scotts High School. I admired her for all her work with people who were despertly in need. She was a good and caring person, and is now in heaven with her savior.

| To the family of Dorothy Dagenhart:
My condolences go out to the remaining family. I did not know Dorothy personally but Mr. Herman Dagenhart was my principal and teacher at Stony Point High. Even as a child I can remember him talking about his sister...even though I didn't realize what missionary work was, I knew she was dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ. Years later she was home on furlough and she came with Mr. Dagenhart to our class reunion. What a wonderful long and fruitful life she lead in serving her Master. May God bless each of you.
