Auntie Dot was loved by everyone! She loved you so very much Tanya. You were so good taking care of Les and your mom. She was a very special aunt to me and to all my family. At family gatherings/bbq's she came filled with laughter and (Avon). I find it comforting that she wanted to be in Odessa in the end and this certainly is a wonderful tribute to her loving family. Tanya, we are all here for you during this sorrowful time. Love you.
Dear Cousin Tanya, Christian, Samuel and Auntie Helen, I can't express my sympathy enough for you all on the loss of your mom, grandma and sister and my special godmother, Auntie Dot. She was my perfect spiritual role model from my birth onward for 65 years. I admired her beautiful smile and laughter. She was always well put together, enhancing her inner beauty. She made people feel special and treated all with compassion. She loved to help the less fortunate and showed us how to keep the Faith. We are all so proud and grateful that she was in our lives. May She Rest In Peace and Joy. Love, Michelle
Dear Tanya, I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. I've known her for many years, starting with our time at Women's Aglow. May God comfort you and your sons who were the loves of her life.
Tanya, My sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. I have known Dot for nearly 40 years and have long loved the times spent with her and Les. She was a very special and beautiful woman, so generous and caring. Rest In Peace Dot until we meet again. Susan, Michael, Brett and Cassandra
Dot was a generous person, always helping people out, taking them groceries or giving them other needed items. You could almost always come away from her place with some kind of goodie bag filled with anything from treats to nylons..
Dear Tanya and Family, We are saddened to read of Dot's passing and send our sincere sympathy. We will remember Dot as a very kind and caring person and may our Lord give you strength during this difficult time. Dave and Kathie Schumann
My condolence to Tanya and Helen, on the death of my dear farm neighbor, Dorothy Richter. Just so sad that Covid has prevented us all from gathering now for Dot and last fall for Dan. So many memory’s to relate from our growing up years. Farewell Dorothy!
We are so sorry to hear of Dot's passing. She was a wonderful friend to my parents and they always talked of her fondly. Our deepest sympathies to the family.
