Dear Jack & Linda, Steve, Eddie, Bobby, Theresa, and all the grandchildren,
I was so saddened to hear of your loss. It is a very difficult thing to go through.
Always remember that Strength & Faith in God was always at her side; that is a gift your Mum has given you. She will always be watching over you all from Heaven. Your Mum will be with you forever. She loved you so much-that will never, ever change.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I had the privilege of working with your Mom at Heywood Valley N.H over 25 years ago. Dottie's quiet and unassuming manner made her a real pleasure to work with everyday. She was always easy going, pleasant and willing to help out.
Please be assured of my thoughts and prayers.
