My Great Aunt Dottie,

An unforgettable person with the kindest spirit. She is so precious. I can hear her sweet laugh in my head, it was one of a kind. I remember how she would touch her top tooth with the top of her tongue if she was laughing about something really silly. When I was still in high school back in 1993, she got me my first summer job at Key Color and when I received my first paycheck she took me to get my nails done for the first time. It was really sweet. I never had the chance of knowing my grandmother, Delores (Aunt Dotties sister); but I always felt that Aunt Dottie, Aunt Billie Jean and Aunt Mary Ann had their own special way of filling in her shoes. Aunt Dottie always made me feel special and loved. She did so much for my dad and he always talked about her with deep love and gratitude. Thank you for bringing so much beauty into this world.

To the immediate family, I am thinking and praying for you during this difficult and painful time.

With deepest sympathy and love

I loved her all of my life! She was a wonderful person and someone one that was honest, loving, a good mother, grandmother, wife, daughter, and sister. She was my aunt Dottie and she will always be in my memories and in my heart. I know that she is now in heaven and at peace. I will miss her. One thing I am certain about Dottie is that she was loved!

I can't believe you're gone. I went to call you today, like I do most days, but had to stop myself. I don't know what I'm going to do without you. You were the most loving & unselfish woman I've ever known and I wish I could be more like you. I was so blessed to have been loved and raised by you and Daddy. I KNOW I'm you're favorite Give Daddy a kiss and hug for me. Until we meet again my Mississippi Queen!
