Waino, Yadi and Albert together again.
Mom would be tickled!

I left a tribute a couple days ago and extended sympathy to Gretta and John. My apologies. I guess I was seeing John in my mind. My sympathy to Charles and family. Love to you all from Marge Nelson

So sorry to hear of Dottie passing away. I met her while she lived in Farmington MN. Over the years we had coffee daily, many talks about lots of topics and ate her very good fried chicken and the extras.
Dottie was a strong willed person and faught every day to live one more day. She lived through many surgeries to get rid of that mean cancer only to have it come back. Lots of others wouldn’t have made it like she did.
Dottie, Raco and I love you dearly. I miss my second mom and chatting a lot. Your free of pain and not struggling. May you forever Rest In Peace. I love you, Till we meet again. God Bless you

Dottie was my lifesaver in a small town. What fun, laughter, and just downright good times we had! As life does to us, she moved and I missed her. We met for lunch occasionally but never had enough time. She influenced so many decisions in my life with a simple question. Whenever I think about delaying some sensible gratification with the “But I’ll be too old to enjoy it,” justification, I hear her saying, “And how old will you be if you don’t do it?” Dottie is gone from this earth but she will live on in my heart and mind. She was a real gem.
My sympathy to Gretta, John, and their loved ones.
Marge

Dottie was like a second mother to me. I met her at Spruce Place apartments in Farmington, Minnesota, in 2010. There is nobody nicer. Dottie was always there for her friends and treated her friends like family. She is missed , but I am happy that she is with her husband and son and her beloved dog Bell. I am praying for the rest of her family.

Grandma Dottie will always hold a special place in my heart. When my mom married Andy (John) when I was 11, I remember being very nervous about having a "new" family, as it had always just been my mom and I. But Andy being brought into our lives, and the rest of the the Andersons and family to follow, was the greatest gift I ever received. Dottie helped to shape the woman I have grown into today by not only being a support, but an inspiration to continue learning and experiencing the world for all its beauty. She was not only kind-hearted, but a tough woman who kept fighting. She taught me that you never fail until you stop trying, and that love and kindness go above all. While my eyes are filled with tears, by heart is filled with joy and love for the memories with Grandma Dottie. I will forever remember the love she shared and the sound of her laugh, both which filled any room she was in. Love you Dottie. We will miss you. Rest in peace now with Jerry and Andy <3
