Not sure what to say?

Aunt Dot was always loving and possessed a zen-like calm that was captivating, always in control of her emotions. I miss her, and Beth, both of whom inspired me in my present ecological work (riverprincess.tripod.com)

I enjoyed living with your family while Dana was in OCS. Cindy and I ran around UNC campus, Uncle Morris drove us around in the van. Your family was so good to me. I will cherish those times. We have several pieces of pottery Aunt Dorothy made and we enjoy each one.

Morris, I sent the wonderfully written obituary on to Coby and Jan who loved her also. I always enjoyed talking with Dorothy. All the best, Genie Jansen

When I moved to North Carolina Morris and Dorothy were kind and generous to me. The first time I met Dorothy we went out to dinner and she a very little during the meal because she was saving room for dessert. I will always treasure our relationship and the pottery I have that reminds me of her. Love, Helena

It was an honor and joy to have gotten to know Dorothy when she and Morris attended the Eno River UU Fellowship. I was sad when they left the congregation and now I am even sadder to learn of Dorothy's passing. Every Sunday we light the beautiful chalice she made with the inscription "Look to this day." She was truly a beautiful person and an inspiration to me.

My mother had a truly good and happy life. She was blessed in many ways, from a wonderful childhood family to a long marriage to a devoted husband, children and friends who appreciated and loved her. She was extremely fortunate and she made the most of her life, working non-stop on what interested her the most. She was a remarkable person whose prolific work will remain as a testament to her wonderful life and the beauty she brought to the world.
