I love you, Dotty, and will miss you. I thank God we were able to reconnect via Facebook. RIP my precious cousin.
What a sweet, gentle soul…Dottie was a good friend to my Mom as one of the “ladies on the hill”. She was so excited about being in the birthday cart parade, celebrating Mom’s birthday! We will miss her her smile.
I am so sorry to hear of Dot’s passing, a great sister, and loved by many. She will be missed by many people, and now she is with Larry.
So very sorry to hear about Dottie’s passing. We got to know her through the Livonia Seniors club and always enjoyed her company. She had a great laugh. Our sincerest condolences to her family and friends.
Debbie & Tom my condolences to you and your family. May God guide you through this difficult time.
I am so sorry to hear this news. Dottie was a special person, have known her since Woody brought her home to Livonia. My sincere condolences to Larry and Debbie.
Oh, my heart goes out to the family. A wonderful sweet lady has gone home. I have many great memories of this lady. RIP Dottie. Prayers are being sent to your family
Dottie is going to be missed very much by her “Golf Cart Friends” and all of Pine Tree Park. She was so easy going, always working that flower garden in front of the garage, frequently talked about her cats (which she left the TV on for them – when ever she left the house! – I’d kid her that’s why your electric bill is so high!!! ) A true friend – especially to her neighbor Carol – they were like peanut butter & jelly. You aren’t tired any more Dottie – be happy now that you are with Larry. My tears are telling me you will be missed so very much .
Debbie, So sad to read this about your mom! Big hugs being sent to you.

Oh my, I have wonderful memories of Dotty and Woody..
Condolences to the family…
Prayers to the family. I always loved what a gentle classy lady Dottie was. She and “Woody” are Together now. May they rest in piece.
Dottie I am going to miss so much that beautiful smile, giggle and accent. So many good visits we had when you would come into the office. We both wondered at times if we would upset the apple cart here. You have been such a light for Livonia – God Bless you girl! Until we meet again!
We are so sorry to hear about our ex neighbor and good friend. Sympathy to the family from us.
My deep and heartfelt sympathy for your loss.
Sorry for your loss Barb Steward
