Beth Ann and Cathy I am so sorry for your loss, you know I have some very, very fond memories of your mother. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
I will miss visiting with her on Sunday mornings. She was such a special friend to John and I both. I am sure her and John are enjoying playing piano together now. I will miss her but she is in a better place with Jim. I am sorry that I cannot be at her service I will be out of town.😢 ❤️
You were the best of us, dear sister. Your love, laughter and melodies brightened the world for so many.
My deepest condolences. I worked with Dottie at State Farm and just loved her so much. She was always happy and upbeat and I just loved hearing her laugh. She will be deeply missed.
So sorry for your loss, I bet Jim is so very happy to be with her again.
So blessed that Mickey and I were able to spend time with her at Keenagers.
Heaven received a new angel.
Mary Louise and Mickey Smith
Randy & I loved Dottie! What a beautiful heart! Could anyone play piano better than her? I doubt it!
We will be praying for all you! She certainly was a treasure… no doubt she is currently enjoying her reward & crown!
Love you all! Randy & Robin
Well GOD has finally taken another saint home. She was a dear friend to SO many .She is spending life in heaven with her buddy. Our family for so many years so much enjoyed her music. Miss you my friend.
Our dear Dottie,
When love is deep so is sorrow.
How we miss you!
Your empty seat is so filled with your absence.
A reminder of how you radiated light and cheer.
What a kind giving smile you had!
Lifting music was your gift to us and God’s gift to you.
Our hearts go out to our dear Kathy and family in this time of sorrow. May the God of all comfort surround you with His peace that surpasses all understanding
Kathy, Beth, Patti, and families,
We have such wonderful memories of Dottie, and Jim. Such kind, caring people! Dottie was indeed a servant of the Lord in all she did; and in who she was. I wish we could be there to hug you in person. Please know our hearts are with you.
Louise Zimmerly. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I have moved to my daughter’s home. I didn’t get the message in time unfortunately to attend services. She will be sadly missed. But she is now 8n heaven with the Lord.
Cathy and Beth, in memory of your mom I’m sitting here with my eyes closed reflecting on all the wonderful childhood memories I have while living on Crabapple Lane as friends with your family. Those were the best of times. ❤️. Dottie and Jim were both so wonderful to let us hang out at your house and your mom was always so sweet. I pray that God can provide peace and comfort to you both, and your families, during this difficult time.
Love,
Robin
Dearest Beth and Kathy….I shall never forget that dear, sweet friend that I met so many years ago on Crabapple Lane. Your family meant so much to our family. I have never forgotten those seven years that we were neighbors. Dottie was truly an unforgettable blessing in my life. So sorry for your loss.
