Dottie was one of most dearest friend who was always there if you needed her. I never saw anyone who was braver than her and who kept up her spirits through the most difficult times. She will be missed greatly and my heart goes out to Angelo, Michael, Anthony and her sisters and brothers. May God keep her in His tender care, I know she is with Him.

My special sister, I want you to know how much you mean to me. My special sister has strength and courage her whole family can see. My special sister showed us all how to handle life's blows. My special sister took it all in stride, smiled, and said, “That’s how it goes”. My special sister, through all her pain, never once gave up or complained. My special sister has dignity, warmth, and inner beauty that can't be explained. My special sister, with all she was going through, always thought of others. My special sister always took time to give of herself to friends, sisters and brothers. My special sister was always there with her kind thoughts, deeds, and caring. My special sister is well known and loved for her capacity for sharing. My special sister needs to know how much she means to those who love her, especially me. My special sister's strength, courage, and beauty are a shining example for all to see. My special sister has carried a heavy burden for quite a long while. My special sister would not allow us to share any of her pain but always her smile. My special sister is surely a guardian angel sent from above. My special sister, these heartfelt words are for you, from all of us who care, with all our love.
