I am so sorry to hear of your loss. "Dot" as I called her in Our Lady of Concilation, while visiting my Great-Aunt quite often, had the most wonderful voice. She always was the loudest and the most upbeat when it came to singing all those wonderful oldtime songs during rec. time. She is missed dearly. God Bless you all. "Dot, sing loudly with the Angels honey."

My Nanny was one of the most wonderful people I have ever known. Although I only got to see her once every year I have a lot of memories. One of my favorite memories of her was from when I was about 13. We were getting ready to eat dinner, she bent over to pull something out of the oven and split her pants from seam to seam. She could always make us laugh. She was definitely one of a kind! She will be sorely missed.

Dotty,

I'm so sorry to read of your Mom's passing. I have great memories of working with her at the high school when I was a swim instructor in the pool during my high school days. She was alwys upbeat and laughed a lot.

Best regards,
