Cindy, Greg, Kathy, and Terri,
Our sympathies to you on Dot’s passing. John was so lucky to experience her mothering when he started office practice 35 years ago. That loving care extended to everyone in our family, in good times and in bad, and we are honored that we could be a part of her life.
There is nothing she is prouder of than her family and what a legacy she leaves behind. Our thoughts are with you and your families who will miss her most. Trust that she will still be caring for you from afar.
Heaven is rejoicing!
John and Hannah Bartges
My heartfelt sympathy to all,
I can’t say enough about what a wonderful mother, grandmother, friend, relative that you were so blessed to have. I had the great pleasure of meeting Dot when she came to apply to volunteer at LRMC, I immediately knew I wanted her to join the team. She touched the lives of so many patients and families while making her volunteer rounds. I looked forward to seeing her and just sharing the ups and downs of our everyday lives. My heart aches and tears flow freely when I think of her. She will live in the hearts of those who were blessed with her presence.

Dot was always looking for ways to care for the staff and residents of Manor House. Her thoughtfulness and humor will most certainly be missed.

Kathy I am so sorry for your loss. She was a good friend and always fun to be around. She would sit with us at mass on Saturdays and the pew will feel empty. It is never easy to lose someone we love. I will pray for you and all of the family.

Most Sincerely,

So Sorry for your loss. I admired Dottie so much and I know she will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
Sincerely,
Helen Shultz
I was so sad to see Dot’s obituary in the newspaper today. Dot worked part-time with me at a doctor’s office several years ago, and she was a wonderful person. She spoke lovingly of her children and her husband who had passed. She loved to talk about her favorite casinos and what Atlantic City bus trips were coming up. It was always amusing to see her drive around with her little NASCAR flag waving from her car. She was always so interested in what was going on in my life, and when we stopped working together she made a point to call just to catch up and say she was thinking of me. What a sweet lady, she will be missed. My thoughts are with your family.
Sarah Conklin
I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember Mrs. Burie always smiling. I will keep your family in my prayers.

So sorry to see the passing of your mother.I wish you peace during this difficult time and days filled with many good memories.I know you will miss her greatly.She was so full of life and I always enjoyed bumping into her around town.I could see her coming with the Jeff Gordon flag waving in the wind and the USMC plate on the front of her car.

You could look far and wide to find a sweeter and more caring family person than Grammy Dot. Football Fridays at LS won’t be the same without her. I am so glad I was able to share a dance with her at the back yard concert. My most heartfelt sympathy goes out to her family. Especially, Rick and Terri and their children. I am a better person for having known her.
I’d like to thank Dot for raising great children. My dear friend Cindy continues to teach me valuable lessons in life. She’s a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Teresa Heagy Wiedemer
I am very sorry for your loss. Dottie was one of the most compassionate, fun, loving and interesting person and it was a pleasure to have had her in my life. We met in 7th grade at Edward Hand and stayed friends for many years. She was a member of my wedding party in 1958 and became an angel to me when I returned from living in Tennessee with my 3 daughters. She welcomed us into her home on Garnet Avenue and helped me get through a very difficult time. She was my life line. I haven’t seen her for about a year, but thought of her alot. I am out of town for 2 months or would be there on Saturday. You have lost a wonderful Mother and friend. Dottie always enjoyed life right up to the end.
