I have many memories of Dot. First, she was my mother’s Mary Kay consultant, later she became a client of mine when I was in the salon. We lived in the same community therefore we were together at many South Lincoln School functions. Dot was always so neat in her dress and was so very committed to looking her best anyday of the week regardless of what she was doing. She kept her home neat and tidy inside and out and I’m sure her beautiful flowers were the envy of many who passed by. While Dot was still in Donelson, Traci and I had the pleasure of taking some of the residents on a hayride around the facility and Dot was one of our passengers. She seemed to enjoy that and I sure did enjoy reconnecting with her that day.
