Dorothy was such a loving and kind person. She always made sure her mother was being taken care of and I never heard her complain about anything.

Louise, Janice, Virginia, Betty, Lewis and Charlie....Please accept my condolences. I am sorry I just heard of the sad news today, but I am sure Dottie is with a guardian angel watching over her. Had I have known, I would have been there with you all during this time of grieving. I thought a lot of Dottie as I do of all of my cousins.

To
The Harris Family: My heart was very sadden to hear my dear friend, Dot
has gone home to be with the Lord. We worked together at C&P, Bell
Atlantic, and now Verizon for so many years. She was a very quite,
sweet and caring person. . The last time I spoked with her on the
phone she had so much faith in God, that everything will be all right.
I know she is with him now. I'll surely miss
calling her. With Love Nancy Broadie
