Deaar Hazel,
I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Dot. She was so sweet and such a special person to both my mother Paula and my Grandma Bess. My Grandma Bess always spoke of her fondly. They had so much in common from growing up out west so many years ago to the love of soft pink colors and flowers of all sorts. I feel like my Grandma Bess felt so blessed to have had Aunt Dot in her life. She used to always laugh at the fact that they were both Dorothy Bieseckers but that neither one of them went by Dorothy. Personally, I have very fond momories of spending time with the both of you during our visit to Pennsylavia when I was young. It was such a pleasure to see how the room lit up when Aunt Dot and Grandma Bess got together! Sending my deepest condolences and love to you and yours. Cortney Nickerson

She was such a vibrant and energetic woman in her day and I always appreciated the fact that she allowed me to come into your home so many times as a young girl.
