Such a Sweet Magnificent Precious Soul. Dearly Loved and Greatly Missed. Aunt Dot taught me so much in life. We all could use her positivity and strength of how to remain in the moment and appoach each moment with a Sincere Smile and with Understanding and Grace. Always Smile!

Rest In Peace Dot.

Joe, so sorry to hear this sad news. You and Dot were a great couple, blessed with a wonderful family and many friends. Sending you condolences and prayers.

Dotsy was a caring and giving person. She was always the life of the party with an endless smile. She was devoted to her immediate family, including her ten siblings. Dotsy was a super hard worker and frequently made the trip to South Jersey with her sister Carol to take Aunt Mary shopping and dining and visits to the local hotspots (laundromats).

My Aunt Dotsy was truly a wonderful person with an abundance of energy for life. Always the giver and never looking to receive anything in return. Amazingly she made it a point to know everyone's name including their children and grandchildren. When she would see you there was always a hug and inquiry as to how you were doing. She always made me feel special to her. My Aunt Dotsy has been in my life all my life. How can I not miss such an amazing and wonderful woman who gave so much to...

We are truly sorry for your loss. She always made us feel warmly welcomed at the family parties. Sending our love and prayers to the family.

Where are the words that sufficiently describe what a truly wonderful, caring, loving and sympathetic friend Dot was? She was a rare one who would do whatever it took to make you feel welcomed. Our sincere sympathy to Joe and the family for the great loss they have suffered. Rest in peace, Dot. With love, Bettina and Eliott Krems

Joe, Joanne and family...Sending hugs and prayers! Dorothy will be dearly missed by all!

Love you so much Dot. You were one of the good ones. Always had us laughing. Will miss your coupons, articles and bags of giveaways that you always had in your trunk. Have fun up there with Mom and Joan.
