I do miss you Mrs. Dotson. The room isn't the same without you and your husband.I'll remember every time it makes me sad that you're now with Mr. Dotson dancing and the Angels pain free. They say God puts people in your life for a reason. I'm just glad he put y'all in my Life, even if it was only 3 years. RIP Mrs. Dotson. I'll miss y'all both!!! ??? Tell my husband Ron hello. ???
