There was a wonderful Homecoming that took place just a few days ago. I know that there was dancing and singing taking place as Dot earned her wings. She will be missed here on Earth, but I know she is enjoying a wonderful celebration.
Mike, Michael, and Ryan, I know this time is difficult for you, and I can say that things will be difficult for a time to come even knowing that she is celebrating now. I love all of you and am here if you need me or Chris.

Ryan. You were one of my babies in my day-care. I lost track of you and your mother after you had your surgery. I always wondered how you were doing until I ran into Dot just a few years ago before she left to go back on the road and then lost track again. I only know how proud she was of her family and how they always came first. What a lovely woman! I am so sad for all of you but knowing her I feel assured that she is somewhere helping others should she have the opportunity.

To Mike and the family, we want to extend our most sincere sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time. I told Dot just a few weeks ago that when I think of her I think of that sweet, beautiful smile and always being content no matter what her circumstances. She was such a special lady. May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you all and give you the peace and comfort you need.
Love,
