We were sad to lose Dottie last month, I felt like I was losing a big piece of my childhood. I loved looking back and remembering all of the good times I had at Keri's house; playing games, apple pancakes after sleepovers, the surprise party at the Lion House, dumping my chicken nuggets on the new carpet, getting sent home for chasing Kraig around, going to Ken's farewell and sitting on the stand with the family so I wouldn't have to sit alone, and having Dottie, Keith and Alison with me in the temple when Dan and I were sealed.
Keri and her brothers did a sweet little service and each shared a bit about their mom, with a lot of laughs in true Nigbur fashion. At the graveside I was given the wonderful opportunity of standing with Keri and her family and placing a rose on Dottie's casket.
We love you Dottie! Sitzmark won't be the same without you!

I was wondering who Dottie is. We all need good friends at times like these. Tell Keri we are sorry.
