Dear Bix and Martha:

I was so very sad to hear last week of your mom's passing. I have so many fabulous and funny memories of the adventures our clans shared over the years, and "the Dode" played a starring role all of the wildest escapade. What a character she was!

Please know that I'm sending you both oceans of love, and wishing Doddin happy sailing with Brooks and Ham in the great beyond.

~ Sally Berry

Doddin holds a special place in our family’s hearts. She was a kind soul that will be greatly missed!

Our thoughts, prayers and memories are with all of the family. We always enjoyed talking with Doddin and hearing about her time as a sailing instructor and other White Lake memories.

What a wonderful tribute to a very special lady. There is comfort in knowing her full and beautiful life. Much love and warm thoughts go out to the family. ❤

We offer our sincere condolences for the loss of your Mom. She was quite an inspiration to many I’m sure. May she Rest In Peace.

I remember as a teenager, the first time our family saw Doddin on TV during a winter pledge drive, and thinking, why does she look familiar? Then she said her name, and my dad said "Now we know a real TV star".

You mother was a champion for life and fun. I remember having her at the Lowell tennis matches and she was such a terrific cheerleader. We are so sorry for this loss to all of you. You are in our hearts and prayers. Rick and I both share our condolances.
