I want to extend my sincere sympathies to Ray, Beth, Bruce and "Pixie". I have such fond memories of our trips to Schnectady and our family get togethers (Cape Cod). Dottie was such a fun-loving person. I'm sure she and Rene are dancing the polka in heaven right now!

We were so saddened to hear of Dottie's passing. She was so special to us. Our families shared such a special bond. Please take comfort in knowing that Rene was waiting with open arms to guide Dottie into the gates of Heaven. They will take care of each other now.
