Brian was one of my best friends. And Dottie was so kind to me over the years. I miss them both....... I still think of them often.

I grew up knowing Dottie, her and my mom Susie were great friends. Dottie and Brian were both very special to our family, we used to keep him with us alot. We lost touch for several years but met back up with her at Heritage Hall. Dottie was a very sweet lady and was so broken hearted when she lost Brian, but now she is with him and I can imagine she is so smiling big again and hugging him. God Bless her family and RIP Dottie...you will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Dottie's family in this time of sorrow. When I was growing up, Dottie was always someone I could talk to and she will be greatly missed. She was heart-broken when Brian lost his life but I find comfort in knowing that she is with him now.

I was so sorry to hear about Dotti. She was always so willing to help me when I would have travel questions. Whenever I needed to stop by the controller's office, it was nice to stop by her cubicle to talk - always a smile on her face. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
