As you lost a wife and Mother, I lost a Sister. The people who knew her and loved her will forever miss her laugh, her smile and her kind heart. I just want you to know, I will be there for each one of you, no matter what. Don't hesitate to call me. She was my very best friend and I will miss her so so so much.Keep her in your heart and in your memories because she was so proud to be the wife and so proud to be the mother of Kenny and Nick, she lived her life for you. Make her proud even tho shes not with you. I love you all.

Dot could always make you laugh and you knew it was always going to be a good time when she was around "Even if it was just another day at the FED". She was a good friend with a very big and caring heart. We were all blessed to have had her in ours lives. She will be missed very much. But we all know now that we have a very special guardian angel to watch over us.

To the Woods Family,
I am so very sorry to hear of your sudden loss. Dot has left us much too soon. She had a huge heart for others and a way of making you feel like you should be involved in whatever it was she was organizing. In my work with her at the Federal Reserve, she was also a person you could count on to be straight up about what she thought--a quality I appreciated in her. Those of us who knew her at the Fed are deeply saddened by her loss. I hope you will be comforted by knowing that she touched many lives.

To the Family of Dot:
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning". I worked with Dot and will always remember how she'd call and say something is not working right.. we'd laugh when I would ask her "what's broke now".. and she would reply.. "I hit something". Her laughter and sense of humor will always remain with me.
