Mike and I loved Dot very much. She was always calling on Mike to "Deal" with J.B. and Charlie when Chuck was at work. I will always remember the block parties, going to the Lai Lai for dinner, and all the fun we had. She was a wonderful lady, and we will miss her dearly. God Bless. Love Joy & Mike

Dot was a constent in my life the entire time I was growing up. Who ever said it takes a "village" to raise a child, must of had our court on Deer Ridge in mind. You are loved, and will be greatly missed. Our hearts go out to Chuck and the kids.

Dot, AKA "Madam Mayor", may you tend your flowers and bake your cookies and organize block parties untroubled by earthly frailties.
