My family and I had the pleasure of knowing Dottie. We will always hold our memories of her very near to our hearts. She is by far one of the kindest, caring ladies I have ever known. We send our deepest sympathy to her family, friends and all who knew her. The world has definitely suffered the loss of a wonderful person.
