    My sympathy to all of Dottie’s family. I worked with Dottie for many years and also have many, many memories of the fun times we used to have outside of work. She usually (if not always) held a part time job on the side, hauled clothes to the laundromat every week! Worked her butt off for everything she had, but I never heard her complain. Loved her family dearly. May you rest in peace Dottie
    thoughts and prayers to all her family and friends
