I cant believe that a year has passed already! Where did time go....
Heather, Natalie and I often talk about your mom. My mom adored Dottie and the feeling was mutual. I met your mom few times at the store and heard so much more about her through Natalie. I admired your mom and her perspective in so many things in life, of course, some i heard from her directly and others from my mom in her conversations with you mom. In my visits to Natalie's store, last meeting was with you and Dottie when you stopped by there. That is the last image I have of her. You mom was special to us both, she has left a mark in our hearts.
In loving memory of Dottie, we love you!

Mike, I remember long ago, we were maybe just 20 when you introduced me to your girlfriend, Dottie. It was down near Drexel on one of those sunny , spring days of our youth. I still remember feeling a little jealousy and surprise that you landed a "nice girl" from a good family. I couldn't figure out how the neighborhood brawler had changed in just a year or two of college. Clearly Dottie must of had a lot to do with that transformation. Blessings to your family from California, Bob and Joni Venticinque

Deepest sympothy to Mike, Heather and all who loved Dottie. Dottie was a wonderful lady full of kindness, love and grace. She will be missed by all who knew her. Dottie has left this world of pain and suffering and is now home. Home full of joy and everlasting love with our Father, our Savior Jesus Christ and those who have passed before her. Dottie is Angel in heaven reunited with her family.

My heartfelt condolences to Heather ,Michael and the extended family.
Dottie and I met through my business and we developed a great friendship. Dottie was not a client, but a great friend, a ray on sunshine in my life as we shared many stories, advice for our children and other everyday life happenings. I am going to miss her friendship, the chats and her smile. May you rest in peace Dottie!

Dottie was a wonderful neighbor and friend to everyone in our family. We loved the times shared by the pool, watching all Heathers parties and sharing the Christmas Spirit with her every Christmas. My kids learned how to decorate a Christmas tree and string popcorn the right way. Your spirit will be missed

Dear Dottie, we have been best friends since Junior High, double-dated with Tom and Mike, then enjoyed numerous golf/dining experiences in Charleston with you, Mike, and Heather. We will all miss you greatly, but recalling how thoroughly we all enjoyed our times together, and knowing we will all meet again in the future gives us peace. Mike and Heather, be strong for each other, and recall often your memories of Dottie as the best wife/mother one could hope to have. God Bless.
