I miss you. We sure grew close these last few years and I will miss our visits and reminiscing about our life on the farm and your fishing and camping trips over the years. Have fun fishing on the other side of Jordan. See you later there

Knowing Dottie gave me many, many good memories: she got me more than once with her dry sense of humor, she was my first roommate, we always cryed when it was time to part and yet when we first would get together it was as though we never were separated. She was a loyal, loving friend whom I look forward to reuniting with in heaven.

Aunt Dottie you will be deeply missed! I'm grateful for the times we had and memories we made. Whether it was watching movies, playing Rack-o or listening to “Dumb Ditties” while sipping from Snoopy mugs. You always made our time together special. I will cherish those memories and more!
Love, Hugs and Memories!
