Glennell, Charlie and family,
My thoughts are with you all. What a wonderful lady Dot was and her graciousness always was evident. I will have fond memories of the "shift" parties held at her home. I know your wonderful memories will always keep her close in your hearts and minds.

Glennell, Charlie, Shannon and family,

I will miss Dot's "attitude" and love for life. She was truly a "special" lady who made an instant impression upon entering a room. I say with much saddness that I will never again have the pleasure of meeting anyone else of her measure. May the love and memories shared keep her alive in your hearts.

Dear Family of Dottie Sinclair,
Ben & I are so sorry for your loss. She lived a good, long life. We will certainly miss her as a friend and at our bird club meetings. Dot was a 'grand ole dame' and loved to dress beautifully. We had fun picking her up and taking her to our bird club, when she needed a ride. We loved her and will miss her. So sorry she didn't live longer to enjoy her newly renovated home. We will keep in touch.
Love, Mary & Ben Copeland

Shanon and Karen, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. It's never an easy thing to go through, especially at the holiday's, but you can find solace in knowing that your Grandma is in a better place and your thoughts of her, while bitter sweet now, will become precious memories later.
