I met “Dot” thirty years ago.I had just got married and even though I knew several of my new in-laws I was a little nervous about meeting all of them.We were at a family get together when,as my new bride talked to her sisters,this little woman with a big smile walks up to me and says “You’re Brenda’s husband,aren’t you?”.I said “Yes,I’m Tim”.She says”Well,come on Hon,lets get you something to eat.”She then talked to me as if we had been friends for years.It was the warmest welcome that I have ever received.Bless you Dot.
