So many fond memories of sitting at the kitchen table - talking about everything and talking about nothing at all. I will miss her and know you all will miss her deeply.

With deepest sympathy for all the family. The loss of Aunt Dottie will be sad and painful. BUT I know my mom, Helen, has welcomed her with open arms and is happy to see her. She will take care of her untill you meet again Uncle Elmer.
