I am so sorry/ I considered Dottie a great friend and such a joy to know. She always kept me laughing. We missed her being with the LeFemmes and I missed her being out and about at the Legion.
The night of her viewing I had just come back from burying my brother in Georgia. Otherwise I would have been there. Shane and I both send our deepest sympathy to you. I know you will her very much.
Love you all
Claudia

I met Dottie in 1959 while in the U.S. Navy stationed in Key West Fla. She and Phil sort of adopted me, making my stay in the service a whole lot easier. I'll never forget weekends with her and Phil, sending out for fish sandwiches and hush puppies,laughing and playing with her children, hearing her voice at Christmas time when she and Phil would call,and her always smile. Dottie was truly my mom away from home.
God is with you.
