Thank you so much for noting three grandchildren. Allie Ann Shrader, daughter of Allen A. Shrader, only met her grandmother once, but it was a loving and memorable experience. Dot immediately loved my daughter and I will share that memory with allie.

Dear Mike, Elizabeth, Sidney & Noah,
I am was so sad to hear that your mom passed away. I couldn't even go to yoga on Monday morning without Elizabeth. :( However, I am delighted that you were able to spend so many wonderful years with her and I know she is resting in peace knowing that she raised such a wonderful daughter.

Little Dot was a wonderful person. She was deeply loved by Pastor Tammy (my wife) and myself. She will be greatly missed as we enjoyed her beautiful smile as we visited her and Sidney.

We are so sorry to hear about Dot's passing. She was a sweet, gentle lady and I'm going to miss talking to her when she would walk by my house in the mornings walking her dog. She definitely was a very special lady and will be sadly missed.
