I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I'll always have the memories of living next door to Dot at the end of the street. She was a kind and caring neighbor. Thoughts and prayers to you and your families.

We will surely miss her smile and presence at SUMC but are sure she's up in heaven cooking or making some of her delicious pies! Our deepest sympathy goes out to Pat and the family at this difficult time in their lives. We are praying for you.
