I have great memories of Auntie Dot and Uncle Charlie. One of my favorites was when Auntie Dot let us sit and play the organ at her house!She always made us feel special! She will be missed and my condolences to the family.

To the Robbins family, Dot was such a wonderful person knowing her and having the pleasure of doing her hair for 28 years was such a joy. Through thick and thin she never complained when asked how are you feeling Dot she, would say fine even if it was her worst day. What a trooper.Having taken sick over the last month I was so disappointed that I never got to see Dot at the nursing home but I will say I was kept informed about her. I will never forget her kindness and concern about me over the years. I will miss her. I feel like I have met all of you because Dot always brought me in pictures of everyone and always told me about the great holidays she enjoyed over the years. She made so many friends over the years at my shop and everyone just loved her she was so proud of her family. They would chuckle when she arrived in her car and would comment how she drove better than she walked and that she did. Dot has entered into her internal resting place to be with her beloved husband Charlie whom I had the pleasure to meet before his passing such a wonderful couple. Her suffering has ended and the good lord has received a angel she is at peace and will always be in my heart. My clients also wanted to express there sympathy to the family. Dot rest in peace .
