Aunt Dot was a very Special Person. She loved her Family and made sure they were taken care of every day! She loved watching the Cubs play Baseball on TV. She enjoyed cooking and keeping her house clean. I loved visiting her and hearing some of her stories. I miss her and know she is in Heaven with all of her relatives, watching over us. "Keep a watchful eye on all of us, Aunt Dot, We Love You"!

Aunt Dot has always been a part of my life since I was born. She was my Godmother. I loved her stories and her cooking. She was my Mama's favorite sister-in-law! She loved her family, and her "Cubs". Now she will not be in any more pain and suffering. One day we will all be together again. We will miss her shinning light! My sympathy to George, Connie, Bryan and all the others who loved her.
