Our dear friend and fun buddy shall dearly be missed. You no longer have to suffer for you are now in the hands of our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ. It's hard to shed tears for such a true person who was always "Dot" no matter what the circumstance. We know that you are resting in peace. We loved you and you shall forever remain in our hearts. Carrie Mae, don't worry because HE puts no more on you than you can bear.

To the family of Dot:
Dot and her family were special friends of our family. Those kind of bonds live on forever in your memory and heart. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. May the love of God sustain you during this most difficult time. God Bless You! The Lewis Family

From the first day I met Dot, she has always had a special place in my heart. She was a loving person. Whenever I came by to see her or called her on the telephone, she was always in good spirits. She was always
interested in how the family was doing.

The Washington Family became a special part of our family just as soon as they
moved into the community on Maury Street. We loved them and they loved us.
May God continue to strengthen all of you during this difficult hour. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
