I knew Dottie from High School where we graduated in 1965 and later she worked with my mother Betty at the Shawmut Bank. Mom always talked fondly of Dottie and loved getting cards at Christmas from her after she moved to Maine. Mom so loved her and when we lost mom in July of 2012 I called Dottie and spoke to her and we had such a nice conversation and she helped me by telling me stories of my mom from them working together. Rest in Peace Dottie and hopefully you and my mom have been able to get together. David you have my thoughts and prayers. Carol (Sherman/Olivier) Houghton

So sorry to hear of Dottie passing and although words never seem to be enough and the years have passed, your mom and family will always be close to me as they knew early on I may have lost direction, guidance and a good swift kick because of not having/losing my dad at an early age. They've always shown me respect, love and kindness knowing although I mite be troubled, I would never make it onto the 'Post Office Wall'. It's times like this that remind us all of who and what have meant the most throughout our lives especially when I'm reminded of the caring and respect your family as always shown me. Dottie and you all will always hold a special place in my heart and my life. My best to you at a very difficult time.

To David - our sorrow for your loss is immeasurable. We know that she and you shared so much as you made your lives there in Maine. She's still there supporting you in spirit. That will never change. We know you'll always carry her in your thoughts & heart, so stay strong for her. To the Cruickshank family - I personally feel the loss of a wonderful cousin whom I shared a week or two with every summer for about 3 years at the invitation of your Mom & Dad. The work we put in every day (barn chores, gathering eggs, baling hay, etc) was harder than anything I did at any other time as a kid, but it was also the most fun I had. When the work was done (was it ever really done??), we played just as hard. I will always remember that Dottie could run just a step or two faster than I could, which annoyed me, but also made me more determined to catch up with her! Some of us remember stories about me riding her horses that didn't go so well. But perhaps the most cherished memory I have of her was the act of kindness that she showed Suzi just before she was about to fly home to Turkey for a few months to be with her mother. While she was relatively new to our family & not always shown some warmth, Dottie gave her a small parting gift. THAT was totally unexpected, but I guess it shows just how caring Dottie was. I can't tell you how much Suzi appreciated that. She is also deeply saddened by Dottie's loss. May she find rest in Heaven, and may all of you find comfort in knowing you have so many friends & family that are sharing your sorrow. Bill & Suzi

Auntie Dottie, you always called Kurt & I "your kids" & I always loved that. I leave you a sunshine symbol because you always were a ray of sunshine, though we all know the darkness of pain & illness that you carried so bravely for so long. I am so very grateful for having had you in my life to show me how to laugh at myself & the world, but also to love as much as humanly possible and to keep smiling no matter what. I wish we could have seen one another again. The plans were in the works, but I know that it isn't really necessary because in this family there is never any doubt about our love for each other no matter how long it has been or how far apart we may be. I know that you are home with Grampa & Gramma and your brothers, and I hope that there is much love & laughter going on in your piece of Heaven. We all love & miss you...until we meet again....... Kimi, Dennis, Mark & Kelly

There are so many things I remember about Dottie. Every time we "talked" on Facebook, she ended her messages with "Love ya." She was such a good friend, sister-in-law, aunt, sister and daughter. She never failed to send birthday cards to all nieces and nephews, and she sent Christmas cards with a personal message, inquiring about how everyone was. She was sincere and honest. When you talked with her, you had her undivided attention. She was funny and I can still hear her laugh. She loved life. She didn't complain. I wish I could see her again and give her a big hug. She was one of the best of us. Sending love to David and the entire Cruickshank/Blye/Betzer family. Love, Ginny and John

There are so many beautiful things to say about Dottie that I don’t know where to begin. Dottie was not only beautiful, she had a beautiful soul. She saw the beauty in others, animals, plants and her surroundings. Dottie and I would have very long and soulful discussions and we knew life was short, and we tried to live our lives like our Mom did, enjoying the moments we could. As the saying goes, “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain”. Although incredibly difficult, this saying reminds me to try and not to feel the deep sorrow of her passing, but instead to feel grateful that Dottie’s presence was blessed in our lives, and we are better people today because she was a part of it. And, I am honored to be her sister. When I looked at Dottie, I saw a reflection of myself, but with our own individualities. I have always looked up to my sisters. Dottie was bright, creative, had a jokester personality Carol and I got to see (we will never forget the great donut throwing episode) and above all, Dottie was loving. We’ve all experienced how happy this special soul always made us feel. Often we forget those who make us happy, also hide their pain the best. Dottie hid her pain; she did not suffer alone, she had David by her side and family by her side, but she tried to hide so much pain and endure alone while smiling and making others smile. I feel like we still had so much time left to be with one another, so many more memories to create, and so much more time to talk with one another, but it wasn’t meant to be because time is ever fleeting. But, we must remind ourselves that when we look for her in the stars at night or the beauty in our surroundings, we can also look into the eyes and hearts of those lives she touched, for here also you will find a little part of Dottie; and in that sense she will live on forever. Dottie called me a few days before her passing…she was very much insistent in telling me she Loved me…she wanted me to know that. She was going to call Carol next; and I know she wanted to talk to every one of my brothers soon. I don’t know if she had the chance to do so…so I’m letting you all know she wanted to tell you that she Loved you. And if I’ve learned one thing from my sister Dottie (though I have learned many things from her) it’s that you tell people you love them more times than you think they need to hear it. And, Learn to appreciate every moment we have together, look for happiness, love each other, for you never know which moment will be your last good memory of your loved ones. I have wonderful memories of my sister Dottie which will live on in my heart forever. Love you my Angel Forever and Ever. Peace and Love to all my Family and Friends – May God touch away your tears and show each of us a way to keep Dottie in our hearts with Joy and celebrate the love she had for all our lives and for life itself. With our Deepest Sympathy and Love to David, Family and Friends, Debbie and Rich Blye “What we have once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” Helen Keller
