I’m so sad for your loss.
My friend Dotty, I miss you so. I miss our laughs; I miss our cries….I wish I could have taken your illness away and filled it with sunshine and butterflies. “So many years come and gone. And yet the memory is strong. One word we never could learn
Good-bye” Amy Grant said it best. It is hard to say goodbye, but rest and I will see you someday.
Saddened to hear about Dottie’s passing. She has eternal
Life now and is well. Until I see you again my friend I will cherish the beautiful memories we shared. I’ll always love you my friend. Prayers of comfort, strength, and peace sent to Doug and the family. 🙏🙏🙏
To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. We will miss you, but see you again one day.
R.I.P. my beautiful friend, you are at peace now after a long battle. I will never look at a beautiful sunset again without thinking of you, you will be missed, we love you dearly..
My dear friend, lover of life and all it’s goodness. You ‘re it’s best example. Your light has shown on us all an will not be denied ever. God speed!
I couldn’t believe when I heard the sad news today. Dotty was one of my first friends when I started working at the Johnson Space Center in Building 5 in 1986. What a truly wonderful person!
I was sad to read of her passing. I will dearly miss my occasional chats with her of her colorful plumeria and the pictures of beautiful sunsets that she posted for all to enjoy. So I send my condolences to her family. May all your happy memories of her sustain you. God Bless.
My deepest sympathy to Doug and her family. Dotty and I had so much fun together in high school, and enjoyed our visits at our class reunions. She was a dear friend and will be missed. God’s peace and comfort to all.
I will remember, all he great times at the beach, the year we went to Cabo and experienced the storm, traveling to Hawaii round trip for less than $300, riding motorcycles and waiting on John Boelsche, the dogs we loved, the boat rides and parties, parties, parties. You are with my beloved that have passed on I will look for you when I pass on. Love you Dotty. So glad I got to see you this year. Carol and the Herd.
So very sad of hearing of Dotty’s passing. She was one of those who was always a delight to see in Bldg-5, (NASA folks understand where that is). In all of the years I’ve known her I never heard a cross word nor ever saw anything but her beautiful smile. She was truly a bright light that has been extinguished too soon.
Doug, I’m so so sorry. Since moving away I didn’t stay in touch as I should have. We all had really good times while we were there. Some of my fondest memories. Some would say there’s no way they could know how you feel right now, but I can. I lost Gary in April so I know how broken hearted you are. I loved Dotty and will truly miss her.. My prayers and loving wishes are with you right now. Trust in the Lord and he will help you through it. If you ever need to talk please call me.
I enjoyed the time we worked together in Bldg. 5, she was a great worker with many wonderful skills. She had a great smile and was always happy about things. You could tell she enjoyed her job. 69, that’s a young age. I didn’t realize she wasn’t that much older than me. My mm died of cancer at age 69 too. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
All of my heartfelt condolences go out to the family of Dotty. She will be missed.
May God’s angels welcome you into heaven which you so bravely deserve.
My yoga friend and neighbor never to be forgotten.
My deepest condolences to her family and furry companions. Dotty exhibited courage and grace despite the most challenging of circumstances.
Rest well.
My deepest sympathy to Doug and family. She was a wonderful person and loved her family so much.
As so many have said Dottie was always smiling and upbeat. Truly a fine fine lady and will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go out to her entire family and all of her many friends.
Rest in peace beautiful, angel friend, until we meet again. You were taken too soon. I loved you and miss you.
I couldn’t believe the news of Dottie passing. She was one of the most genuine people I ever had the privilege to know. Her smile will be missed by many. God’s speed Dottie.
Dottie was such a genuine, sweet person. Her smile will be missed.
You will be missed by many. Love and Rest In Peace. Margaret Lauletta
Doug and family, My sincere sympathy to you all. Dotty was an amazing person. She made us all feel loved. I will always remember her smile and wit. May wonderful memories bring you peace and comfort.

Prayers for the family.RIP
