Miss Dot was such a special person. Not one time did I ever not see her without a smile. She always had a hug for me. I will miss that dearly. She brightened my day more than she will ever know! I love you Miss Dot. Many hugs and kisses to you :)

I met Dorothy through a mutual friend in 1991. She was a wonderful and happy person, loving everyone she knew. I visited with her last fall when another friend of mine was visiting her. She always made me feel at home and very comfortable. I wish I was able to have spent more time with her. I pray for her and her family for comfort, peace, and strength during this time. She will certainly be missed.

Aunt Dorothy was a such a kind and giving woman. With her wonderful sense of humor and personality, she lit up a room. Dot will be missed by all her knew and loved her.
My thoughts, prayers, and love to all of the family.
