I loved and love her so much. I enjoyed how she would call everything "neat" and all the stories she would tell.

Dotty was a little firecracker of joy and happiness. She gave a big wave to my wife from her mailbox just a few days before her passing. Unfortunately we were out of town when she passed and were unaware. Our deepest sympathies to her family.
