I'm thinking of you today Dot. I think of you often. I miss our phone calls. I still can't believe you, and our precious boy, David, left us the same week. I hope you see each other in Heaven. I can still hear him coming in the door saying, Hi Mrs. Reynolds! We were so lucky to work with you all of those years. So much laughter. You will never be forgotten my dear friend. I love you and miss you.

Dear Greg, Bob and Susan. Our deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom. She meant so much to us it is hard to find the words. When we owned New England Automotive in East Granby she was hired as our Bookkeeper, but she was so much more than that. She was our dearest friend, our confidant, our laughter and sometimes our tears. She never forgot a customers name, always balanced the checkbook to the penny and God help the bank if they made a mistake because SHE never did. When we had the fire, in 1987, your mom would, in the winter, when we were working out of a Winnebago, have to blow dry her desk before she started because it was frozen. So many stories come to me. I'm so glad we always stayed in touch. Your mom was first and foremost a wonderful mother, as you know, a devoted wife, loved her Red Sox and Marine Corp, and I'm sure all of her friends and anyone else who was lucky enough to be a part of her life will agree, the kindest, sweetest, woman I have ever known. We love you, dear Dot and will miss you always. Bill and Maureen Dunn
