    Marcia, John and Gary. So sorry for the lose of your Mother. I didn’t know her very well, but my Mother always spoke so well of her. Especially at the gatherings at church. Always had to let me know what her and “Dotty” had done or talked about that day. I know she thought of “Dotty” as a good friend. She must have been a good mother, just look how great you kids turned out. Again so sorry. Love and Hugs for all.

    I am so incredibly sorry entire Anderson family for this great loss. Dottie always had a special place in my heart as her God daughter. Enjoyed her when living in Canton and our phone conversations during the last years of her life. What a dear soul. May you find comfort in the loving arms of her Savior. I envision the conversations they are all having in Heaven. Prayers in your grief, Liz Coplan Slack
