You entered my life when we were both raising our children, you helped give my daughter a good foundation in the field she is presently working. You will always be a part of my heart. Thank you Dorothy for touching my life! May God hold you until we all meet again.

Dot- you and Lewis were like second parents to me and I will be forever grateful for all you have done throughout my life, helping to shape me into the person I am today. The life lessons, unconditional love and support over the years has been more than anyone could ask for. I am so thankful to have had you in my life and you sharing your wonderful family with mine. Lewis and all the family, I am so, so sorry for your loss but hope we all can find comfort knowing Dot is in Heaven in a new body free of earthly issues. Prayers for your comfort and peace today and in the future. We were all so blessed to have had Dot in our lives – thank you for sharing her with the rest of us. Big hugs and love- Tammie
