Dottie was the first adult who allowed me to call her by their first name. I always thought that this so cool. I recall many times where Dottie would watch me, Lynn, and Gary while our parents were away. The Staffords home was always full of laughter and pandemonium. I fondly recall that the best biscuits I have ever eaten anywhere in the world were made by Dottie. We would all sit down for breakfast and enjoy the meal together. Dottie and Mr. Stafford along with Debbie, Tammy, Tina, and Dana always welcomed us into their home. Dottie was very loving and I owe her a deep debt of gratitude for helping to raise me as a young boy.

To the Stafford family, my prayers go out to all of you. I am honored to have been a part of the Stafford family. I loved Dottie tremendously and I love y'all as well. Guys dont say that very much and we should..May God Bless....
