To the family of Dot Armes. It seems like yesterday when I called Steve to see how he was doing and got to talk to Dot. She was always on a high note to lift your spirits. I know you all will miss her dearly. I was blessed to have known Dot and your father. She was a very big help to me when my mother passed back in 97. Please accept my deepest sympathy. George I am happy to hear you have settle down.

To the family of Dot. She was one beautiful, funny and spunky Lady. I loved to run into her, she would talk your ears off and about things you loved to hear. She told me more about my childhood thru the years than my own MOM. And I loved the fact, she never forgot me and knew me no matter how much we changed. May God bless you with wonderful memories of great times with her and give you peace knowing that she is definitely an angel now, and a Classy one at that !. Love and prayers
(Niece to Ed & Margaret)
