Dottie was my Mom's roommate at Abington Manor. I had amazing conversations with Dottie & will miss her greatly. Bernie & Stash she loved you both so much! She was an amazing woman & I am blessed to know her. She sang to me twice & I will cherish that. She promised we'll dance when we meet again in heaven. Our thoughts & prayers are with your family.
