I had the opportunity in meeting Mrs. Craven several weeks ago, and enjoyed visiting with her. So, our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I had the pleasure of meeting "granny" about 2 years ago, after hearing such grand things about her from Melody. She was so spunky and full of life. She will be sorely missed!

I worked with Dottie at Summerville Dress Company for years and years. She was a great friend and was always there when you needed her. I will miss her phone calls that always caught us up on each others lives, and I will miss her sense of humor.
May God be with you, Jerry, Kathy, Kitty and family during this time of loss. I know Dottie is in Heaven with Prentiss and Buddy still looking out for her family and friends. Ann Smith Harmon
