I have known and worked with Dot for the twenty years that she has been with BGPMA and GMA. She was pleasant and friendly and most willing to be helpful. She will be sadly missed.
My condolences go to all of her family and friends.

Dear Sue and family,
I just wanted to let you know I'm sorry about your loss. Your mom was always so nice to me when I worked at Goddard Medical with her. Whenever I saw her since then, she was always so friendly to me. I hope you know you & your family are in my heart....
Please tell your Aunt Diane I'm thinking of her also.
With a hug,
Lisa Soares
