Joanne & Family! I personally did not know your mom, but if she was anything like you, she was a very special lady! Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you over the next few weeks! Hope you take some well deserved time off to spend with your family! Take Care!! Paul & Everyone @ Avoca CSD Trans.Dept.

Joanne and Family...my thoughts and prayers go out to you during your time of sorrow. May you find comfort and strength through this time, at the loss of your mother/grandmother. Paula Pimm

We are going to miss Dottie very much. I wish it was possible for me to make the trip to be with you and the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of such a loss.. Frances Galucki

Remembering Aunt Dot, her many talents, her many interests, her infectious laugh, her caring spirit. AND her FABULOUS BBQ chicken!! There isn't a time I make that that the aroma doesn't remind me of BBQ's in Oakfield and Little York. Pair that with her watermelon rind pickles and you have a win- win. The last time Aunt Dot was here was memorable. It amazed me how much she and Mom looked so similar--and sounded similar too! It was wonderful to chat with her and hear about all of YOU..her pride and joy...her children, grand children and great grandchildren. Always proud of YOUR accomplishments, and what each of you have become... wonderful, well rounded individuals who give much to this world. (Of course, I still have imprinted on my brain 35 years ago and what everyone was like and doing then. ) She caught me up though, with pride in her voice, and an excitement unparalleled about grandchildren and great grandchildren. Wow. I am here to tell you Henry cousins--Your Mom so loved each and every one of you, and your progeny (she taught me that word!!!!) that you would be blushing right about now. Aunt Dot had many gifts and talents and extra activities, but nothing meant more to her than each and every one of you. She made that very clear. While I cannot be there to honor Aunt Dot, know you will be in my prayers for a long time to come. She was very very special, and each of you carry her with you by the way you live, by the deeds you do and the things you accomplish-no matter how large or small. My love and respect to all of you..my condolences which cannot erase your pain, but most of all, giving you my love for the treasure you had in her. Love, Donna

Joanne, I behalf of all your colleagues, friends and the entire staff at the Avoca School District we offer our sincere condolence and support during this difficult time. Mr. Yochem

was an RSVP volunteer for over twenty-seven years. She touched the lives of many with kindness and patience as she instructed seniors and the handicapped in ceramics. We're sure they think of her whenever they look at one of the items she'd help them make. We are sorry for your loss. The RSVP Staff

with regrets I am sorry to hear about Dorothea she was a special person to all of us at Diana Court our prayer were sent out to the family.I been ill been down almost 3 weeks. MY condolences to all the familey and may Jeuse hold up Familey up while he takes you through this DIANE MINNARD

To the family--I, Ruth, am a niece of Lucius Henry. Linda and Sherm let me know about the passing of your dear mother. We met them several times at family occasions. We pray for the LORD to comfort you and give you peace David and Ruth Schaffer
