We just found out about Miss Eva today. We are so sorry for your loss. I have extremely fond memories of Mrs. Dotson. She was always such a support to me many times. When I think of her, I recall an elegant, gracious and charming woman of true Southern nature, who loved her church, her family and friends. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Ted & I will be remembering you all in our thoughts at this difficult time. Love, Pat & Ted McCall
I WAS SO SORRY TO HERE OF THE PASSING OF MRS. DOTSON. SHE, AND HER FAMILY NEVER FAILED TO ASK ABOUT MY GRANDMOTHER WHILE THEY SHARED TIME AT THE NURSING HOME TOGETHER. SHE WILL BE MISSED.
Keith, as a former classmate and friend at AC Reynolds and Fairview School I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your mother. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, in this time of great sorrow. God Bless each member of your family. Sincerely Marie Hayes Stone
My heartfelt condolences to each of you. Your mother was a great lady and well loved by all who knew her. I remember the many hot summer days spent on your front porch drinking fresh lemonade & talking with her and you all. I also remember the help she gave to my grandparents during my grandfathers’ illness & death. She was much appreciated.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family at this time. I hope the peace of knowing where she is now will comfort and sustain you. I was with Keith and Agnes the evening they found out she was not doing well and have had you in my prayers since. God bless each of you and I pray that His presence will be with you like he has been with me through my losses. Mrs. Dotson was a friend of my mom(Julia Trantham), so they are now reunited!
Love, Beth and Chas Mudie
