Thank you so much for Dottie. She was so good to my Mother, Gail Hohengarten, who was her neighbor for so many years. I appreciate the beautiful note she sent to my Mom when my father died. I still have it. What a kind and supportive woman she was. I will miss her.

I was so shocked to see the news about your mom. We played bridge at Jan Potts' house just a couple of months ago. I will keep all of you in my prayers. She was a very sweet lady, and the bridge group will miss her.
