You were my mother and my best friend. Each year when we were able to get together for my birthday, you would smile and say, "You made me a Mommy."  I knew what you meant--how much you loved being a mother and how having me was the beginning of a life you cherished with all you heart because after me came three beautiful girls and more love than you dreamed possible. You hung on for us---loving your life, loving us. I hang on to you.  Forever--Vanessa

Her light as a mother  and mother-in-law, will be bright in our life. We love you Steve and Ginny

I do not have to say good bye. Momma you are so near I hear your voice and feel your touch you are a part of me. One day we will be together again. With love Ginny

Just said Goodbye to one of the most beautiful amazing ladies I have ever had the pleasure to spend most of my life with. She was an amazing neighbor. The day we moved in she brought over a big plate of spaghetti. One day I will do the same to our neighbors. She watched my brother and I get on and off the bus when my Mom had to go back to work. Took us in during the middle of the night when my Dad had to be rushed to the hospital and didn't think twice about it. She was always out in the yard tending to her flowers and said Hi to us every time she saw us. I know she is in heaven now dancing and so happy because she can breathe on her own. Mrs. Dot you are an amazing lady and will always have a special place in my heart. Until we meet again I love you Mrs. Dot ?

What a special Lady she was,it is so hard to write was. She always treated this in-law like a Sister,I will so miss those calls she would make just to do a catch up on everybody.She was truly our "royalty" always the picture of elegance,and became so dear to me when She and Ben came up to take care of Tina when we had the wreck.She put her life on hold to do some mothering to my little girl and for that she will forever be my angel. Love you all,Janice

Ben, our prayers are with you and the girls through this difficult time. Dot will continue to be in our hearts.
Richard and Evelyn Biles

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.  I have many fond memories of years past.  Dot was a wonderful Christian lady.

Dear Momma,

I miss you and cannot wait to see you again in Heaven.

Love, 

Roseanne

Ron and I are sending prayers to you and your family for comfort through this difficult time.

May God be with all of you through this hard time in your life. I love you all and my prayers are with you.
