So sorry to hear about Miss Dot. When I think back to all those years ago when I was just a little girl and ya'll were our neighbors. What a good friend she was to my mom through all of those trying times for us! May she rest in peace now. Love always Donna Babineaux Talbot

I had the honor of being with Ms. Dorothy over her last few months. It is amazing to me that the love and concern she had for her husband and all 5 of her children remained, when her dementia had robbed her of ALL else. THAT is the true testiment of what kind of woman Dorothy Mae was. This woman saved my heart and soul and restored my faith in love and in family, my experience looking after Ms. Dorothy is one I will carry with me forever.
