Ms. Dot its been almost 1year and I still have a hard time dealing with with the fact that you are gone. I miss you so much. I miss your conversation, your laughter, and your sense of humor. You were invincible to me. Thank you for taking care of my children even when you didnt feel like it, you were a trooper to the very end. I will always remind the kids of how you took great care of them and how much you adored them. Rip Dot and love you always Wanda, Jasmine, Freddie, Christian.

Cassandra and I saw you only a few weeks ago at Ukrop's as we always do. You were always so kind to us and would always give us supportive words when speaking of our parents.
We all go way back to growing up on Grayland. You and Rodney lived upstairs and we lived in the next section upstairs.
We will miss your smiling face and encouraging words. You're with the angels now. May the Lord forever keep you beneath his wings.

Aunt Dot was talked about a lot growing up. She was one person that will always be remembered from her sweet personality and her caring heart. I call her a Diva all the time, and she would always laughed at me, but she knew it was true. I told her when I get her age I wanted to be just like her, young looking, hardworking, strong, spiritual and kind. And she use to just laugh, but she was always willing to talk to you whenever you was in need. She is and remarkable women, love Great Neice Tarsheka
