Bob, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. We have worked together for almost 30 years and I can still remember like it was yesterday when your mom worked with us at the old Meriden-Wallingford Hospital. She always kept us on out toes and was a joy to work with. There was never a dull moment when Dottie was around. May She Rest In Peace!
