I just learned of Dottie's passing. I'm so sorry to hear of it. I thought she and Joe did such a great job raising you all. She was very proud of you and always spoke so fondly of you. She and Joe are united once again and may they rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to the entire family. I have fond memories of your mom growing up on the lake. She was an amazing woman. Never stopped doing what she loved. I am so glad I saw her last summer. It was wonderful to talk to her and we ended with a big hug. May the memories of her always stay close to your hearts. Thinking of all of you.

Dotti was such a free spirited woman. Even though I have not connected with her for years I will always remember her warmth and acceptance. My best memory is that she held a happy hour with cheese and wine outside in the snow for me and Suzza. She was the best Mama ever. All my love and sympathy. Carolyn Russo.

Joe, Lori, Suzanne and Kerry,
So sorry to read about your mom. She was a wonderful kind hearted person. When I was young practically lived at your house and she was always so welcoming. My deepest sympathy to everyone.

I will always remember Dottie´s bright smile, it lit up a room.
I was fortunate to have worked alongside her at the studio and I admired her energy whenever I saw her. Many memories of the annual sale as she out ran me and it would bring me joy. She inspired me.
Her presence and her love will surround us all, always.
