Dottie was always so kind to me, and witty! She sent the funniest birthday cards. And totally real-no artifice, no pretension, and always ready to help - which was always a real help as there was no one more competent. She was a gem. Love to all of you.

Although Dottie is no longer with us her values, spirit and kindness will live on. That legacy will hopefully be a source of strength and comfort in this difficult time. With deepest sympathy and prayers to the entire Payson family. Erika K. Aron and family.
