Well, my speculation is your use of “dear” is pure patronizing, but again, I am only speculating.

She does it with almost everyone. It's just her style. Check out her posting history. A-G is anything but patronizing.

Your other observations are most likely projecting. Looks like you're reading way more into what she wrote than is warranted.

Unwind a little.

Thank you so much for all your kind words of encouragement, dear sister in Christ!

Dear CTrent1564, my reply was brief but appreciative because the issue had already been raised, discussed and answered. There is no need to debate it further.
