Dear Family of Dottie, I am so sorry to hear of Dottie's death. She was a most wonderful person. We worked together a few times bringing gifts to families in town at Christmas. I believe the last time I saw her was visiting at Westlawn Cemetery. She was visiting her husband and nearby I was visiting my son and more recently my husband also. Dottie was one of the friendliest people in town. My thoughts are with all the family.

The world will be less beautiful without Dottie but all
the more beautiful for who she was.

Dottie was a truly lovely lady. She was one of the town's "do-gooders" and helped with so many things over the years. I was fortunate to get to know her in garden club. My sympathy for her family, it is so hard to lose a parent, even in the best of times.

Our thoughts and prayers to the Family of Comrade Dotty Chase. May she enjoy forever in eternity the companionship of her fellow Veterans that have gone on before her. The Veterans of Littleton American Legion Post 249 will certainly miss her presence in the annual Memorial Day Parade. She has added her name to those we honor on this day.

To the Chase family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. The Poulin family from Littleton loved your mom! I have fond memories of attending many St Anne functions and the Sodality women were always there, my mom Anna included. I loved that your mom and mine were born in Newburyport and so was I! Please know that she is in a beautiful place now and along with Tess Karr, my mom and others are planning the next Senior Luncheon for folks older than them! Love to you all
