My dearest EB and April .... God, I am so sorry for your loss. There just aren't words for all of the lovely memories and just how much Mom will be missed. I cannot believe that I just found out, but wanted to send my best wishes to you and know that now, as ever, you are in my heart.

So sorry about your loss. I remember Dottie not only for her enthusiasm about Hawaii but also how hard she worked coordinating the Annabelle Lee's arrival and startup in Richmond. She was so helpful to me with arranging to have one of the first large groups on board. She will be greatly missed.
