For the children of Mrs. Campbell, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I went to high school with Dorcas and we were friends. Samuel, we shared some of our family tree a few years ago. I didn't know that Dorcas had passed away. I am sorry for all your losses.
Mrs.Campbell was our Methodist Youth Leader in Wyoming, WV coal camp about 1956. There were about 10 of us teenagers who were in her group. She always brought her son Robbie with here. She was one of the nicest, calmest women; I have never forgotten her although I haven’t seen her in about 63 years. My prayers for her family during this transition. Rest In Peace, Mrs. Campbell
Annalee, I am sorry for your loss, I know you will miss her greatly. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
She had been more than just a neighbor to me. She was like family. Mrs. Campbell is the reason I have such a strong faith in Jesus Christ. When I was just a little 8 year old, she invited me to church with her. And just about every Sunday after... rain, shine, or snow... I would walk two houses down the street to her house, and off to church we went. She encouraged me to join the church choir. She always told me how beautiful I looked every morning. Sometimes, she would take me with her to places. She always showed me love above all. She loved my mama, and my brother too. She was an incredible human being. I know that Heavens angels sang the sweetest songs when she entered the gates. I’ll see you soon sweet lady. I love you. 💙😔😥
