My Condolences.
My life has been enriched by Miss Dot’s presence for a better part of 15-20 years as her Physical Therapist and church “pulpit buddies.” I provided her with rehab services, but I received much more. She was the door to meeting her wonderful daughters and their families and quickly learned that she was the admired, adored, honored and respected Pillar of her continuing expanding family Clan. I will surely miss her. Until we meet in Heaven, Miss Dot!!!
