Deepest sympathy to all. Dottie was a hard worker and was always willing to give the shirt off her back to anyone in need. She will be greatly missed.

Jody and Scott....
Your continuous love for "mum" will never be forgotten.
Dot is in all of our hearts. Anyone who had the priveledge of knowing her was enriched by her infectious smile and always giving heart. Never ever having anything but a welcoming smile on her face, she loved life, and loved you more than anything in the world.
She knows how much you loved her too.
Joe - you are her most treasured son-in-law....she trusts you to always be the backbone you have been. We will all miss Dot and with heavy hearts we must say farewell, but she will remain in our lives forever with her mile wide smile.
You know i love you all and i am blessed to have you Jody as my sister (in-law).
Always,
Joanne
