Dot was a true treasure. She was such a wonderful example of a happy, kind, giving Christian, wife, mother, and friend. I will never forget her hospitality, wonderful apple cake, and her "Polka Dot" act. Dot is one of those folks that will never be forgotten.
With Love and Sympathy at this sad time,
Lisa Goodwin and Family
