Every day you are gone has left a hole in my life. You were so kind and giving to everyone around you. I miss you as much today as I did the day you left us! You are a dear friend who will live in my heart forever. Dottie Littleton Welch

To the Arduino Family,

You probably don't remember me, but I grew up down the street from you. I remember when your family moved into the neighborhood, and even when a few of you were born. I am a few years younger than you. I have many great memories of your mom, though. I remember seeing her when collecting chesnuts from a yard over or maybe in front of the Kerivan's house. I also remember trick o' treating at your house. What I remember most about your mom is her smile and friendly personality. I extend my deepest sympathy to you all, and may you somehow find peace in your heart.

The first time I met Dot was at the OM Show in Bristol CT where she and Gil came to watch their beautiful granddaughter, Victoria Hudak, perform in theatrical shows. That first meeting was over fifteen years ago and I will never forget her Boston intonation. Dot was very talented and creative. She loved her family and never missed a family event at the shore, at family holidays, in Florida and at the Boston Marathon. Dot was beautiful inside and out. My heart is heavy that she has passed. In deepest sympathies to her family and friends.
