She is survived by two daughters, three grandchildren, and two great grand children, as well as her loving husband, Harold. You are with us always, Dottie, as beloved wife, mother, loyal friend and passionate public servant, and the impact of your love and your life will never be forgotten.

Dani and family,

Please take comfort in the fact that she is now in a better place and no longer in pain. May your hearts be comforted by her love and your memories.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing her personally but through our conversations, it is very clear that she was an outstanding women who cared deeply.

May God wrap his arms around all of you and give you peace here on earth as he has welcome home his faithful servant and given her peace.

Dear Harold,

When Dottie worked as Buzz Alston's paralegal, we were best friends. She and I lunched together every day, and many times she invited me into your lovely home where we would chat over leftovers. I have very fond memories of those years -- all because of Dottie.

Dear Harold,
I will always be grateful for the help Dottie gave me, and the training she provided in the early years of my practice. She was an unforgettable person, unique in her intellect and skills. I have not seen her equal since. Even now, those that work with me are not surprised when I start a dictated request by saying "Dottie, please..." Good habits are hard, if ever, broken.
I pray that you and the girls will take comfort in the blessing she was, and know that she rests in a well deserved peace.
With Love,
Buzz
