" On January 20, 2007, our wedding took place in our friends’ home in White Rock, BC. We wanted a spiritual, yet unique, and personal ceremony, so we invited Dorothy Blandford to guide us through the process and to marry us. Our guests were very moved by the service, and there were very few dry eyes in the house. We were told that it was the most romantic wedding that they had ever attended and we fully agree. A million thanks to Dorothy for making it happen. "

" Scott and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for being our minister. Your personal touches and attention to details were phenomenal! I know without a doubt that no one on the planet has or will ever have the same ceremony we did. You gave us carte blanche to choose any poems or songs we loved and incorporated them seamlessly into the ceremony - brilliant! I would highly recommend anyone retain you as a minister. You make it so much about the couple, and your quiet tone and gentle nature were very calming on a normally stressful day! "

" It was a long-time dream of Dorothy’s to become a minister. Very much drawn to Hospice work makes her Compassionate Care focus a natural fit. Rev. Dorothy has a warm and caring manner, an extraordinary willingness to be of service within the community, and was a wonderful support to me personally while Staff Minister at the Centre for Spiritual Living. "

" There are moments in a man’s life when the candle burns brightly. One such moment was when I was a student of Dorothy’s training business and my personal challenge was brought to light … procrastination! It was a priceless insight that changed my life positively from that day forward. "

" When you're in the midst of grief and can't bear the thought of wading through some of the many books about the various stages of grief - this little treasure will give you hope. By reading it and sitting with the gems of wisdom, you'll find comfort - and more than anything, you'll find, as others have, the faith that you will make it through - and on the other side is grace. "

" I enjoyed your words of wisdom, and liked the different charts and exercises you included. Having personally experienced loss in my life, I found it very comforting. I see it as a very positive book and am sure it will help a lot of people. "
