I am terribly sorry for our loss : ( My Aunt Dot will always have a spot in my heart. I am shocked and saddened to say the least but the indelible picture of her in my mind is one of beauty : )
She was truly remarkable to me and took me under her wing as a confused teenager. I am sad that she has gained her Angel’s Wings so soon. She helped to restore a sense of hope in me when I felt lost. She took me into her family and definitely made me feel like a part of it. I will always have a smile on my face and thanks in my heart for Dottie. She is the coolest Aunt I have 😎
Me deepest heartfelt condolences to those closest to her that will miss her more than me. Sending prayers for peace and strength for all of those affected by her passing. You will be missed Dot but I will never forget your kind and fun loving spirit! Godspeed Lady

Dottie was always so nice and made me feel at home. It has been a few years since I’ve seen her but always good memories of kids birthdays or cookouts. Rest in peace Dottie.

I am so saddened to hear about Dottie’s passing. We got to spend an entire weekend together working in a 10×10 booth at a scrapbooking trade show, and enjoyed plenty of cold beers and hearty laughs together in the evenings. Time with her was a profound blessing to me, and I will never forget the joy she brought to my life!
