To the family of Dot McKee–I was sorry to hear of Dots\’ passing. I always enjoyed visiting with her. Whether it was about the neighborhood of Charleston Place, when I was out walking and she would be on her patio, I would stop to visit. I did stop to say hello when she would be at St Marys\’ when I would be volunteering. She was a special lady as you all know. Take care–Judy Evans

My deepest sympathies on the loss of Dorothea. Her Mother, Francie, was my Grandmother Louisa Fischer’s sister. She was a very special lady.
Her son Bob and I were best friends when they lived in Smithton. I enjoyed many lunches and travels with the McKee family
