"Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and
afterward, (some sweet day), you will take me into glory." Psalm 73:23&24
Saturday, September 19, 2026 was "that day" for our sweet, precious mother, Dorothy M. Whyte. The
Sovereign LORD chose that day for her first time, face to face, glorious encounter with Jesus, her savior.
We, her children, are rejoicing with her and in that she has faithfully finished her race and has won the
prize to which she had been called. Now, in Jesus' presence, she knows the fullness of joy. Hallelujah!
She was a willing servant, powerful in prayer, and her faith in God was one of the most impacting
influences in the lives of her children.
