Buddy,
I was so sorry to hear about your mom. She would come by the tape ministry desk at church every Sunday to speak and to make sure I was there. I used to enjoy sitting with you and your mom on Sunday mornings in the service. I will miss her smiling face on Sunday's. By the way, it was good to see you Sunday at church. As others have said, she will be missed at church, but I am sure she is having a wonderful time in heaven wisiting with everyone.

I was so sorry to hear about your mom. My captain at work told me about it and I was shocked to hear the news. You and your family will always be in my prayers. I always enjoyed seeing and talking to Dottie. May God help you through this hard time in your life and give you the strength to continue on and remember all the good times you had with your mom.

I can remember the first time I talked to Dottie on the phone at Goudchaux's Main Street and she introduced herself as "Dottie with the body". I had the pleasure of meeting her in person several times during the years. What a character she was! She'll be missed.

I will miss seeing Mrs. Dottie in the coffee area at church. I think that she sat there week after week just to pick on me. Mrs. Dottie is a one-of-a-kind wonderful person. I will pray for your family in the days ahead.

It is never easy to say good bye especially to one who brought so much life everywhere she went. With Dottie around you knew there was always going to be a good time. I remember her introducing herself to Stefano as "Dottie with the body." It still makes me laugh. Heaven is going to be a more interesting place with Dottie running around.

Although I only moved to Baton Rouge three months ago, I was fortunate to have the very distinct pleasure of meeting Ms. Dottie right away - over an evening cocktail and tales of her beloved group of friends - "The Whiskey Widows." That was the first night that I wasn't homesick and I looked forward to spending time with "Dottie With The Body" from then on. I only hope that I have half of her spunk when I reach my elder years! I will miss her so much at our PM company functions. Her family will be in my thoughts and prayers as I know she was definitely one of a kind.

I will miss Dottie with the Body terribly I looked forward to seeing and talking to her every year she could make me laugh no matter how bad my day would be. She had a zest for life that is so rare these days. I pray that you all can find that rare quality in yourselves to carry it through this time of saddness. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Take Care.

Aunt Dottie is already deeply missed. We loved her trips to visit us in Biloxi with Nancy. She knew everyone at the Beau Rivage in the VIP area and they always asked about her. She was such a personality! She loved her group the "whiskey widows" and enjoyed meeting new people. She always made everyone feel welcome and had the best sense of humor. We love her and will miss her.

Buddy,
I was so sorry to hear about your mom's untimely death.
"Dottie with the body" was one of a kind and will be remembered with great affection by the ones that knew her and especialy the ones that shopped in her store. What great memories I have of her "making" me try on that dress and telling me how cute I looked!!
Prayers and thoughts are with you and your brother and sisters at this time.
Remember the good times and you will smile forever.

Dottie:
Love you girl. You were always such an inspiration to me with your love of life and enjoying life to the fullest. I will miss you terribly but I know you will have everyone laughing and dancing up there. I am going to keep my eyes on my "sis" Evie.
