I have missed Dottie since she left Phoenix about a year ago. I remember her as a fun and supportive friend who was always cheerful and interesting to be with. She was happy to play in our evening Bunco group and she will be missed by all who knew her. Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren meant the world to her. We miss our friend and neighbor. Jo Anne and Joe Garcia (Phoenix, AZ)

We will dearly miss our beloved Gigi. She had such a strong, independent, and deeply generous spirit. She played a huge role in my husband Erick's life and for that I am always grateful. Much love from the Robbins family in Montana.
