Thoughts & Prayers are with the Timms Family. Still love to read Dot's favorite Bible quotes that Jess printed at their anniversary & gave out. They were both like parents to my family . Will always hold a special place in my heart! The VanSlyke's Jeff & Renee, Jessica, Matt &Jay

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family right now. My beloved aunt will always hold a very special place in my heart. She was an incredible blessing in so many lives and showed us all what it meant to be a true Christian. I know the angels along with Uncle Jess, Jerry and June Shirley, Grandma Shirley and Granddaddy Jack are all celebrating at her arrival. I look forward to the day when I will see them all healthy and whole again. God be with you all as you find peace in knowing that she is home with our Lord. I love you all. Bridgette Shirley Boylan

I met Ms. Dot when I taught Arthritis Exercise classes at Bethea. Such a sweet lady. I feel blessed that I got to meet her. God bless you as you remember the good times you shared with her.
