Dottie and I have been neighbors for 10 years. I also knew Stanley briefly before he passed away. We are additionally connected through my in-laws; my father in law used to work with Stanley, so he also knew Dottie before I ever moved into the neighborhood.
I enjoyed living next door to Dottie over the years. I helped her out with trash, yard work, and other little things as she got older. She always gave me a Christmas card and we waved whenever we crossed paths.
I take delight in the beautiful, mature plantings that mark the property line between our backyards, and I believe that Dottie loved them, too. I hope that whoever moves in next will take as good of care of them as Dottie and I have tried to.
I will remember Dottie with fondness. I send my best wishes for peace and comfort to the loved ones who mourn her passing.
