Condolences to the Family
My deepest sympathies to Norm and the entire family with Dot’s passing. She is a permanent memory from an amazing childhood on Coral St. The 200 block was a great place to grow up and she was a very large part of that for me. Well, I know that when she sees my dad, she’ll yell at him, "It must be nice!" We’ll miss you.

Our deepest sympathy and condolences are sent to the whole Fawber family. I’ve
known Dot since the 60’s, so we go back a long time , with so many great memories. Though, throughout the years, we’ve lost contact, but she was always in my thoughts.
When we moved down to S.C., I was thinking about her one day, and just by chance the phone rings, and there she was on the other end of the line.
As Elvis would say, "She’s always on my mind"
My thoughts and prayers,
Elena Hanselman
Cori, Tersa and Cork, I’m truly saddened to hear of Dots’ passing. She loved the three of you deeply. She was so proud of all of you. She was also a very warm and accepting person that cared very deeply, not only for her family, but her friends as well. She always wore a smile, even when we would tease her about the Roller Derby!Truly a good sole that I, and many others, had the honor of her friendship…
