Glora M. “Chic” Dorsett Reese
September 3, 1928- June 30, 2009
Born in Yakima, Wa. to parents Maude and Roscoe V. Dorsett Sr.
Survived by loving husband Karl Reese, Seattle Wa.
Brothers Ron Dorsett of Kirkland, Wa, and Virgil Dorsett of Mulino, OR.
Also survived by Daughters Nancy Craddock of Duvall and
Cheri Wagner of Quilcene, Wa, Sons: Fred Wagner, Monroe Wa., and
Brett Wagner, St Paul AK.
Adored by 9 Grandchildren and 13 Great grandchildren.
There will be no memorial service at Chic’s request.
A private family celebration of her
life to be held at a later date.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you,
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes that we enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort,
Without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind because I am
out of sight?
I am but waiting for you,
For an interval,
Somewhere very near,
Just round the corner.
All is well.
-Henry Scott Holland
Love you gramma. We will miss you.

It feels like you have been gone forever. Hugs, Nan

Auntie Chic, it’s been 4 years and 1 day and I still feel like it was yesterday.I miss you so much, there has never been anyone on earth who I could talk to about any thing and know that you would not judge me, only comfort and give you wonderful advice. You left such a big hole, that will never be filled. So looking forward to that day when we can sit and talk and laugh and cry together. I often wonder if you really knew how your life effected all of us. Love you and miss you. Ishcabibble

Summer is comin up. I always think at this time of year, how we would plan my summers around days that we could spend together, goodies shoppin, or having high tea or just having a lunch together. I really miss those times Mom! I think of you every time I go to a goodies store or a specialty shop that has things in it I know you’d like and I just pray that you are standing there with me, enjoying it as we did so often. Love and miss you so much ,Mama.
