We might have been worlds’ apart but we were never hearts apart. Dot married the only brother I had left which made us sister in laws but God made us sisters in him. My love is with my brother Stan and his family. Live for God so someday we will all be together again in Heaven. Dot, tell Gilbert and Mama I love them.
Love Mary
Mamaw you are missed so much I just wanted to say I love you
We were so sorry to hear that Dot had passed away. It’s been so long since we’ve seen any of you but we remember when Dot looked just like the picture in her obituary. She was always really pretty and sweet. We’ll be thinking of all of you.
Aunt Dot, Although you and your family were many miles away, I thought of everyone often, and enjoyed every visit with you while we were vacationing in Florida. I know you are in God’s care now, and from what I have read, there’s no better place to be. Love, Lovina, Jeff, Michael, Tyler

It was so nice to see all of you in July. We know that Dot is rejoicing in Heaven as she rejoiced with us when her husband accepted Christ while we were there visiting this summer. It was so great seeing Dot and Stan and all their family. We really enjoyed the time spent with everyone. We love you all and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Dot will be greatly missed, but we shall see her again on that great day! Love, Pastor Ed and Sue Layne and family
