Dot, we learned today when we came to Ft. Smith to bring you some Easter Joy that you were in Heaven! We love you and Fred. Say a prayer for us and tell Jesus that we want to come too! You were there when Christie was born. We spoke to Bill and we will make an effort to come to Hardy this summer!
Rest in peace friend! May God comfort and bless your family and friends!
Love,
Glenda and Christie McNew
I extend my sympathy to you in the passing of your loved one. I rejoice with Dot in her home-going to Heaven. She is well, healthy and enjoying her Lord. I only knew her a short time but am glad I had the privilege of knowing her. Her love for the Lord and His kingdom, her spunk and zeal for life were an inspiration to me. May God bless you and comfort you.
Rest in peace sweet Dot.
