Best heart friend I ever met see you again my friend on the other side always and forever in my heart❤️
Dottie and I worked at Washington University together at CAIT. She was a great co-worker. During our time together she was always supportive of me. We spent time together at my rehabbed properties and she encouraged me as I provided affordable housing in North St Louis. Dottie loved her children and spoke of them often. I truly admire them for all of their accomplishments! One thing I remember specifically about Dottie is that she loved cutting grass. Everytime I see someone on a riding mower, I think of her and wondered if she was cutting grass somewhere. I loved Dottie and just the thought of her brings a smile to my face. Rest in peace my dear friend, I’ll meet you on the other side.
