I was so saddened to hear of Dotty's passing. Some of my fondest memories are of Dot and Big Ed in Pocassett. I don't think a day went by that we didn't see Dot or Ed at our house. Then when Ed passed Dotty became a fixture at our house. It was a pleasure to come home and see her visiting or waiting at the fence for my mom so they could walk around the island or go for their daily swim.
