Dot was one of my closest dearest and best friends, and one of the most kind caring and loving people I have ever met. I miss our journeys into work and home every day, we would put the world to rights and we had such a laugh, getting funny looks when we pulled up to junctions or traffic light 2 crazy women in kinks laughing. Lost count of how many other drivers we called a**eholes over the years Dot giving hand gestures always fun journeys . She used to make me laugh when she would apologise when she was having a day off and asking would I be ok on the bus fussing like a mother hen, that was Dot she was like a big sister always making sure I was ok. I miss my friend so much and think of her every day, can’t help but have her on my mind when I can see her house when I’m doing my washing up. Seeing the lovely home and beautiful garden she had created with John, all she wanted to do was retire from work and spend every day in the garden she had such plans. I watched my dear friend battle a cruel, horrible illness that took her away from us far too soon. But she did it with grace and courage and such determination never ever complaining or feeling sorry for herself. She was my hero!! and even when she wasn’t feeling well we would still manage to have a laugh and find something positive about that day. I treasure the time I spent with her and will always be proud to have called her my best friend. She loved life she loved her home and gardena but most of all she loved adored and cherished her best friend her world her husband John. We all have such wonderful memories of Dot that will keep her in our thoughts and hearts for ever. My Friend Dot you will always have a huge place in my heart but you left a huge void in my life. Xxx
