Dorothy was a one in a million lady. She helped raise me along with her own daughters and I will miss her terribly. My thoughts and prayers go out to Leslie and Paula. Love you guys!!!

As kids, one of the things all of us in the neighbor hood like to do, was take walks with both Dorthy and Paul. I bet at one point, there were probably 8-10 kids that would join, one of them me. How they put up with us who knows, but there was always laughter, and that is something I will always remember!!! Hug's and Luv's to Dorthy and Paul Ketter. You will always be in my thought's and prayer's.

I'm so glad Dorothy shared many of our family meals including at least a picnic or 2. I will always remember how she loved tomatoes. I'm so thankful I got to know her.

Dorthy became our "Aunt Dorthy" 18 years ago when David married Tracy. We came to love her and "Uncle Paul" and have many fond memories of visits, good times shared and mutual loved ones. We have mourned with her and laughed with her. Now we mourn her passing. Thank you Aunt Dorthy for the "millions" of memories and for welcoming us into your family.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dorthy was like the mama I never had and Paul was the father I never had. They were both so special and unforgettable. They were real, raw and genuine...which is too damned hard to find these days. I know dorthy laughed all the time because paul was just so funny as hell. They both made everyone feel at ease and comfortable and special. The first time I met the two of them in their home they made me feel at home. I know she's missed Paul for a long time. I know I sure have. I never got over losing him and wishing lime hell when I dialed his number that he would pick up the phone. Losing dorthy now brings back every memory I have of both of them. I wish I was sitting in their kitchen tonight sipping hot chocolate and watching Paul sneak snacks he wasn't supposed to eat as I sat there for hours joking around and writing song after song on my legal pad with my favorite worn out pen. I picture now the two of them in Heaven's kitchen eating whatever the hell they want as they takes breaks to waltz across floors made of cottony clouds as the steel guitars and fiddles cascade profoundly throughout the room, over-filling every crevace of celestial space. Thanks to both of for the truly unconditional love.....for proving to this texas tomboy with an old suitcase of songs that it does indeed exist. I will forever cry inside and yearn with all my humaness to have ya'll back. God bless the Texas in us all.
