To Dot's family,
Words cannot express my sadness. I will miss my RI connection here in Florida. She was a wonderful lady that was so nice to be with. She showed interest and concern for others never wanting to talk about herself. She never complained about her health and always had a positive outlook. She will be deeply missed by the many people she touched.
