Bo & Steve,



I was deeply saddened to hear of Mrs. Dot's death. I worked with her at the hospital years ago. Mrs. Dot always had a smile on her face and was a kind and loving person. Everywhere I saw her she would hug me and tell me she loved me. You don't find many people like her and she will always have a special place in my heart. I'm sure she is in heaven now greeting everyone with a smile and patting their hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time and always remember that you have been blessed to have such a wonderful lady for a mother.

George Magera
