Say not in grief "She Is No More" but live in thankfulness that she was.
- Jean McRae, Savannah, GA
Dottie was by very good friend for 38 years. We met at memorial Medical Center when she was only 18 years old. Over the years we have been through a lot of good times and a lot of bad times but we always knew we were there for each other. I always valued her wit, good common sense and generosity of spirit. She and Paul had a marriage made in heaven. They always thought of the other one first. Something to be admired. Paul, I am nearby if you need anything.
