Dottie had a wicked sense of humor and I'll always remember the times we spent on her "porch"
on Louther Street, sunbathing in the back yard so many years ago and running the car down to the Boiling Springs pool. She
was a special woman with a lot of spunky personality. I'll always have fond memories of her.

Vicki, you and your family will always have love in your
heart for your Mother. I met you in the nursing home and you could tell she was being loved by her family. May God be with
you and your family as the years go by.

I always had a good time when I would come over to your mom and dad's house as I knew I'd soon be
eating some great Italian food and playing cards. What began as a friendship with Tina soon included the whole family, especially
your mom. She was funny, warm and friendly. It is hard to have her leave but I like to think of her again by your wonderful
dad's side.

Tina, Vicki, Jimmy,
and all the Porto family--I send you my love and sympathy. The Portos and the Hutchinsons have a long history together as
neighbors and friends. Dot was very much a part of my life and growing up. She was an unassuming lady with a very kind and
generous heart. I will treasure the many, many memories I have of her. I am grateful she was in my life.

My sincere sympathy to all of you on the passing of your mom. She will always
be a wonderful memory of my childhood. We didn't know it as young children then, but we children of that neighborhood
were surrounded by beautiful, caring and extremely funny people the likes of which are hard to find today. God bless you all.
