Auntie Dot,
I don't know how to say this because this came as sort of a shock to me. But, I know you are in a better place and watching over all of us now. You will be missed by everyone and we will always remember you for the loving and caring person you were. For the past 22 years, you have always been part of my life and when I look back, I can always remember times like: visiting for Halloween when you lived in RI, going to the Campground, Christmas parties at Uncle Louis' and anytime you visited Meme and Papa's old house in Lincoln. You know, they say that when one life passes, another one is born. Your Great Great Niece (Mckinley) was born on the same day you passed away. I don't know if this was an act of God or what, but I will never forget you because everytime I look into my daughter's eyes and see that little sparkle, I will always think of you. We love you and will miss you greatly.
Love,
Vinney, Jessica, Raynah and Mckinley Thomas

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I lived on Lincoln Avenue and knew Dot well at the time and later when I lived on Roblen Drive in Alice Bussiere's house. Dot was a wonderful neighbor and I'm sorry to hear she was ill and has passed away. Please accept my condolences.
