I was very sorry to read that Dotty passed
away this week. I haven't seen her in years. But, we spent
many years working together at the Better Business Bureau. She
was really a wonderful lady.
Hi Judy,
Thanks so much for calling me. I'm sorry I wasn't available to
speak with you and didn't get my phone message until late last
evening. I had to be at school this morning at 7 a.m. and so
couldn't call you at that time. I had a lot of very good times
with your mom - she loved the chorus and especially quartetting
with Ann Wike, Erni Aulenback (both deceased) and myself. I've
called her several times and kept her up-to-date with the chorus
and the gals that she knew. I must tell you that every single
time I spoke to her she would say, "Marg, I wish I would die"!
Oh, I hated to hear that but that is exactly how she felt. Now,
she is finally at peace and got her wish. She will be missed as
all our Sweet Adelines who are not with us anymore are missed.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and yours. I loved your
mother and will pray for all of you. I know she must have been
a worry for you, Judy. Is there anywhere we could send cards of
sympathy or will you be leaving shortly after the services. I
intend to call you tonight and speak with you. Take care and God
Bless. I won't be at the Memorial Service because of school but
I most certainly will be thinking of her at 11:00 a.m. Fondly,
Marg
I was very sorry to read that Dotty passed
away, this week. She and I worked at the Better Business
Bureau, together, for many years. It was always nice to see her
there. She was a loyal, reliable volunteer, and a good friend.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult
time.

Dear Judy and Bill,
I was so sorry to hear of Dottie's passing. She was one of our
first volunteers at the Better Business Bureau, and did a great
job for us. Dottie's specialties were complaint statistics and
proofreading, which she did for us on Mondays. She and Bob
invited me to their home for dinner when I first moved to
Lancaster, and I will never forget their kindness. I liked
hearing Dottie's stories about growing up in Lancaster, and
appreciated her perspective. I always enjoyed Dottie's candor
and her attention to detail.
Please accept my condolences on your loss.
Sincerely,
Linda Hollingshead Bruce
