    We will miss Dot. She was a great neighbor and one tough old bird. We thought she’d out-live us all. Our Dixie Dog already misses greeting Dot in her garage on our morning walks. Dix still looks up there expectantly.

    We are so sorry for your loss and we know that she was always there for the family. We will miss her as a neighbor of many years and as a friend to us. We will miss seeing her “speeding” down the street and mowing her own yard! Our thoughts are with you all.

    Love,
    Susan & Paul White

    I will never forget Aunt Dot. she was the very first one in my life that taught me new skills and how to have confidence to do everything the best you can. And then we fish and then we laugh, what a crew.. Ronald, Marie, Delphine, ,sparky and on and on with such good mem0ties. I’m so sorry for your loss, but am so blessed with the memories we have of the fun good Christmas times, beach times, and he’ll Most times. God bless all of you. , and thank you for great memories
