Yesterday
I only saw Dottie once or twice when I was in primary school. We were distant cousins. What I remember of her was kind helpfulness and a great sense of humor. I wish her peace.

Dottie was smart and very funny at Lowe's. She was always nice to all of us she worked with and the customers. We would talk about our different animals we had and I know how much she loved her's. I know she will be missed by so many people. I hope you remember the good times with her. She had a great laugh.

I went to school with Doris and we were teacher´s assistants for the PE department our junior year. She was athletic, I was not! She enjoyed life. Sorry we didn´t stay in touch in our later lives. I hope she did not suffer too much in the end. Rest in peace.
