I only met Mrs. Dotty once and that was earlier this year when we performed at the Beats & Blues Fest. Dotty, Larry's Mom, was so very sweet to Micol & me. She gave us some of her delicious homemade cookies and we danced to the music and enjoyed some laughs and small talk too. I am honored to have met her and to have been blessed by her for a moment in time. My condolences and prayers go out to Dotty's family and all her loved ones. God's blessings to y'all, Ricky Davis -w- Blue Mother Tupelo

WHILE WE ARE SAD , HEAVEN IS REJOICING.  ANOTHER CHILD HAS COME HOME. LORD I PRAY FOR THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT YOU MAY BRING SOME COMFORT TO THEIR PAIN. JESUS SURROUND ALL AAND KEEP THEM SAFE. IN YOUR NAME LORD I PRAY THIS

So sorry for this family's loss. Dotty will be missed by everyone. A great friend.

Ronnie, I am so sorry about Dotty. It is so hard to believe she is gone.  Janet and I met her in Madisonville in August and had such a great time.  I talked to her 3 weeks ago,and knew she was sick, but didn't realize how sick she was.  She had a gift of making everyone feel welcome and special.  I really loved her.  My love and prayers are with you,  Larry and Shannon.

I am very sorry to hear of Dotty's death.I am sure she will be missed by everyone. I am sorry for Shannon's loss and and the rest of the family and friends. My prayers are for the family.

Rest in peace my dear friend of sixty-five years.  Ronnie, Larry and Tiger you are in my prayers.  Aunt Lona

My special friend for many years will never be forgotten.  Her grace and warmth filled the room and she was always beside you in difficult times.  My love to Ronnie, Larry, and Shannon.  How fortunate we all were to have her in our lives.

Oh, I am filled with sadness and joy at the same time as I know Dotty is with my mom and dad now.  Our lives have been intertwined for over 40 years and she stepped in when our mom died to give each of us Terrell children an angel with the message that she would be our mom now.  Mom, I miss you and love what you did for us, your family by choice.  Your daughter became our sister, your son, our brother, and Ronnie, our special, well-loved friend.  You thought of others, waited on others first, and showed us how to demonstrate real love to all.  I'm sure you did not want to leave us, but I am also sure of seeing you again - whole, healed and perfect as God intended. You have left behind a lot of love to be shared and we will endeavor each day to live up to your example.  We are with the family in spirit and were so blessed to be able to spend time with you in early November.  How you laughed at Kellan's antics as he dashed around your living room and the two of you played peek-a-boo.  What sweet memories... Larry and the crazy outfits Mary Beth made for him... Shannon wanting to marry Mike when she grew up... babysitting for you and chasing mice in the grainary turned house next door to us on Copperline Road... wonderful haircuts, styles, and primping for senior pictures... sharing craft moments... fishing, eating, movies, laughing, and playing cards... so many, too many to even list.  Goodbye until we meet again!

My precious, sweet cousin, I will miss you so much... I loved our phone chats and so enjoyed being at the reunion at your home in October, I wish that I had spent more time with you... God bless you Ronnie, Larry, and Shannon..  This is a difficult time, but God will see you through it... I love you all and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers...

Dottie was one special lady. She would help you with or do anything for you. Ronnie and Dottie were the cutest couple and great friends.   Marsha and David Holmes

Dotty was a wonderful lady whom I had the pleasure of meeting. She was always so friendly and kind. She will be missed greatly. Sending prayers.

I am so glad we were in her home for a family reunion October 17th. It as a great day and we enjoyed it so much. We had great food and great conversation and Jim and I so much enjoyed renewing family ties. To Ronnie, Jackie and all of the family our prayers are with you. May God comfort you during this difficult time.

Dotty was alway extremely welcoming and genuinely loved to see me and my family. She always treated me like I was Larry's long lost brother and Maureen and I and the kids will miss her very much.

Loved Dotty since the day I met her, she was the best neighbor I ever had and called herself my "other mother"...there is an empty spot in my life that can never be filled and I pray comfort for the family at the loss of an amazing lady.

Dotty was one of the sweetest people Cheryl and I ever met. If she filled her house with tired, hungry musicians, they all became her family for a few hours while she fed them and found places for them to rest for a while. Her life seemed to be filled with love and compassion for all who came her way, and we will always remember her gracious, caring heart. God blessed us all with her life, and He will watch over Ronnie, Larry, and Shannon as she leaves us.

We were blessed to have Dotty as our neighbor. Such a sweet and caring lady! We will greatly miss her presence.  Praying for God to comfort Ronnie, Larry and Shannon in their grief.

I was lucky to have had the greatest mother in law in the world.  Even though it was for a short time I cherished every moment that I had with her.  I always enjoyed our heart to heart talks, checks on her "boy" and exchanging recipes and goodies.  She would light up the room whenever she walked in.  She was so full of love and life.  I know that she is looking down on us from heaven and saving us a good seat. She is tending to her heavenly garden and don't worry we will take care of Pop, Larry and Shannon.  I will miss her deeply.  Put in a good word for us mom.  I love you.  Teresa Cummings
