To the Ralph Naylor family,
Aunt Dot was a treasure of a woman. Always fun and lively at any gathering. She was always good to me, while I was married to Alan. 90 years young, should be written to describe her. You now have a beautiful angel to keep watch over you all.

My sweet Dottie has died. Dottie Naylor was my nanny for the first few years of my life. I loved her dearly, and we stayed in touch until I moved to South Carolina in 2005. She was active in our little Epiphany Church, and took my three children under her wing when they were in Sunday school. With every baby, I got a card and a gift, and whenever we ran into each other in our town, she'd wrap me in her arms and hug so tight. Thank you, Dottie, for all the love for so long. She was ninety. Heaven is so lucky to have this new angel.

Dorothy was so special to us. We loved you and Dorothy to visit in the winter. Louise and Dorothy were the first to introduce us to the "recipe" and lots of fun. We feel so sad for you Ralph and send you our love. God Bless you and your family at this time. She was a blessing to all of us.
