Mike,
Dot was without a doubt one of the funniest, sweetest, most lovable ladies I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Being around her, no matter where we were, always turned into a hilarious scene. I always told her that she’d be able to make me laugh if I were on my own death bed!
I know that you’re probably still just going through the motions at this point, but you’re gonna realize soon enough just how much your precious Moma meant to your & you’ll start to wonder how you’re going to carry on without her. I pray for God to grant you strength, comfort, healing, & peace in the coming weeks & months. Dot was an ‘angel on earth’ & now she’s got her permanent wings in Heaven with your sweet Daddy.

Mike and family - my sympathy to you on the passing of Dot. We were together a lot when our kids were in Little League baseball. I remember her as a fun-loving and very caring person. Always happy and doing something for someone.

I am sadden to learn of the passing of Dot. Both she and J.D. were friends of my parents and they were always laughing, bowling, going to ball games, and enjoying life. I remember the hours long phone conversations Dot and Mom had while we waited patiently to use the phone. RIP, Dot.

So sorry for your loss, Dot was a great friend. When the Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. Prayers for all the family.
Dot was the one person who, whenever and wherever I saw her, always had a smile on her face and something to joke about. Her friendly face and great personality will be sorely missed. Thank you Dot for making my life happier. I know your family will miss you but J.D. will be glad to welcome you home.
