I cannot recall my childhood without memories of Dottie. I grew up down the street and spent lots of time playing and spending the night with Dottie. I had just recently found out she was in Charleston and just thinking of her bought back many childhood memories. I had not known Dottie as an adult but know her fun carefree childhood spirit must have carried over to her as an adult. That fun special childhood friendship will be missed.

Dear Richard,
Dot was always fun and so nice to me when I called on the CT department at Baptist. I was stunned and saddened to learn of her passing. When we all reconnected at Steve Humphrey's celebration of life, I was unaware of her cancer diagnosis. Many wonderful memories of my years in sales, calling on you and the radiology techs. I just spoke to Jim. Please know you are in my prayers as you say goodbye to Dot. She was a special lady. Pam Threadgill Trella

I grew up having Dot and Richard as the neighbors of my father in Nashville beginning over 25 years ago. She was a beautiful person whose memory will stay with me. Much love to Richard and all of those close to her.
