My condolences to the family. I worked with Dot at Milliken Golden Valley in the late 70's and early 80's. I was a young manager and her work ethic and words of guidance made me a better person. I wish I had kept in contact with Dot. I only have good memories of her.
Condolences to Rand, Family and Friends. ❤️ Kenneth Nuff Martin, Jr.
