Dear Wayne, Gail and Families, Dot was so special to me my entire life. Whether it was carrying my Halloween candy bag so my mom wouldn't eat my candy or just calling on the phone to say she was "Hanging in, Hon" I will cherish every memory we had. I understand the feeling of a very strong void in your life when you lose your Mom. Dot will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace.

I have fond memories of Dorothy both at the women's clothing store where she worked at the Korvette S/C in 1968, and at her home with Warren. She was a lovely women. My condolences to Gail in her loss.
