Throughout our lives, Aunt Dottie (.T or "Spot") was always there - when we were born, she came to South Carolina to help out. When we lived in Albuquerque, we played with her on the patio and made chains of clover flowers for her toes. With her, we watched her daughter Candy dance as a snowflake. She was always a presence in our lives. When our family was stationed in Hawaii, her family was stationed in Hawaii. It was so wonderful to have her share in all of our family events and memories - sharing the good/fun times and being there for us at the passing of our Mother and Father. As our family grew smaller we were welcomed into her family. We will always remember her beautiful, deep voice - hearing her sing at "Pedro's". She was always there for us - offering love and her words of wisdom, even when we resisted - the Love was there. It's hard to accept that she is gone but we can picture her singing with her sisters with so many family and friends around them to enjoy the music! Sending Love and Prayers in her direction - Andrea & Karen Anderson
