Miss Dot will never be forgotten, for she made such a difference in the lives of many children and adults as well. She was caretaker for both my children Mike and Jennifer in Venice Park. May her family and extended family be comforted during this time of sadness.

Miss Dot was truly a God-send when I needed someone to watch over my daughter in 1978, I have often wondered how she and Mr. Bud were after I moved away from the area. She really loved children and I will always remember her and the blessing she was to me. RIP.
