Condolence From: Sean Williams
Condolence: Such a great loss, yet she will live on through the legacy she left behind in the form of family, friends and memories. Family and friends will always remember the best of times and the strength of her character. I will always remember her has Grandma Dottie who was the mother of my mother and just because of her mere existence provided me with a caring and loving family. Without her my life would be so empty and be void of the domino effect that has created so much love, security and happiness. There is a silver lining in every horrible situation and some say that tragedy can bring people together, this is true. I think Grandma Dottie would be happy to know how many people have come together in support of one another in her name. She will be sorely missed by me and the entire Williams family. We love you in death as we did in life and we know you will rest in peace. We love you

Condolence: Gretchen,I am so sorry to hear about Dottie's passing. I remember
so many good times with her from Marvin Church to Hogg Jr. High,
Robert E. Lee HS, and Tyler Junior College. Not just classes, but
fun times out of class and at home with Mrs. Page and at my house.
Then I also remember times when we were young working adults and
also when we would get together with you and my daughter, Lori.
Dottie was such a sweet friend, and I know how proud she was of you.
We never really lose our parents - they are always in our hearts.
Love to you and your family. Rosemary
