So sorry for your loss. Dot was such a lovely lady and always fun to be with. She welcomed me into the family and we had fun on many occasions with Jack and Margaret, too. Sorry will be missed by all who knew her. My Joe to me about her dramatic and scary story telling in the attic at their grandpa's (Dr) house when they were kids. Always fond memories. May she rest in peace.

Dot was one of the very first residents I ever had the honor of caring for at Tel Hai. She was a beautiful and calm soul, inside and out. Her stories and artwork are some I will never forget. My sincerest condolences go out to her family.

My sincere sympathy goes out to Dorothy’s family. I recently learned of her passing and was saddened to know the world has lost a truly wonderful lady. I got to know Dot several years ago while volunteering at Tel Hai and I had the pleasure of interviewing her and writing her life story. She was a kind, smart, funny, and lovely lady who led a remarkable life and I really enjoyed hearing her stories and spending time with her. She loved her family and spoke of them often, my heart goes out to them and please know that your mom touched the lives of so many and she will be greatly missed.
