Dot was a generous person, always helping people out, taking them groceries or giving them other needed items. You could almost always come away from her place with some kind of goodie bag filled with anything from treats to nylons..

Dear Cousin Tanya, Christian, Samuel and Auntie Helen, I can't express my sympathy enough for you all on the loss of your mom, grandma and sister and my special godmother, Auntie Dot. She was my perfect spiritual role model from my birth onward for 65 years. I admired her beautiful smile and laughter. She was always well put together, enhancing her inner beauty. She made people feel special and treated all with compassion. She loved to help the less fortunate and showed us how to keep the Faith. We are all so proud and grateful that she was in our lives. May She Rest In Peace and Joy. Love, Michelle

Auntie Dot was loved by everyone! She loved you so very much Tanya. You were so good taking care of Les and your mom. She was a very special aunt to me and to all my family. At family gatherings/bbq's she came filled with laughter and (Avon). I find it comforting that she wanted to be in Odessa in the end and this certainly is a wonderful tribute to her loving family. Tanya, we are all here for you during this sorrowful time. Love you.
