    Dotty was a wonderful friend. Her artistic talent reflected her zest for life and her keen perception about the human spirit. I count myself lucky to have known her. My deepest sympathy to her family.

    Dotty was a childhood friend from kindergarten through 12th grade, and someone who I always admired for her many talents - her academic engagement, athletic ability, and artistic expression - but mostly her ready smile and confident demeanor. I hope her family is surrounded by love at this time, with memories of a life that mattered.

    My condolences to the family at this difficult time. Dotty and I were close friends during our high school and college years, and I always appreciated her bright mind and love for enjoying life. As I've lived either in the Southwest or on the West Coast since 1971, our paths haven't crossed for decades. May Dotty Rest In Peace.

    Dotty was always a great and close friend. I'm sorry to be away during her funeral. In fact, I will be flying through the skies during that time, which somehow feels appropriate for a loving friend.
