My heart shatters at the fact that aunt Dot has passed on, leaving us behind.
When I was younger, I remember visiting her with my siblings and being excited to watch movies, spend time with aunt Dot, or eat some of the candies she stored in those little glass containers.
The last time I visited aunt Dot (with my family), she looked like she was in pain but she had smile on her face the whole time we stayed. The whole visit was fun and I’m going to forever cherish it since those were the very last interactions I had with aunt Dot before she passed away.
Honestly, I’m happy that my mom brought me and my siblings over to see aunt Dot because we were able to spend some time with her.
In all, I know that aunt Dot is gone, but that doesn’t mean she won’t live on in all of their memories.
Aunt Dot is a strong, compassionate woman that loved everyone around her. She constantly helped and listened to others in their time of need, and she always looked at the bright side of things.
I hope aunt Dot rests easy, knowing that she’s not in pain anymore, and everything she’s done in life has positively impacted others around her.

The absence of Aunt Dot in the physical world will be felt. She will truly be an honored ancestor. I will continue to be open to her guidance while I am here on Earth.
When I was a young child, I would call for her "Aunt Dot" when I was in my crib, as she turned the key to unlock the door after a long evening of working at the Philadelphia airport. I was extremely noisy in the crib and was keeping Ma and Daddy awake and Aunt Dot would get me. I would keep her company by sitting with her in her bedroom. She would host parties, and I remember my first birthday celebration being one of them. She placed a black curly wig on my head for fun. (lol).
I recall weekends spent visiting Mother and Grand Daddy when Aunt Dot lived on Willington Street. Nikki and I would shout "Aunt Dot" from the back yard of my grandparents, which was a couple houses down from her home. When she heard us calling outside, she would open the door to the spacious deck and join us in conversation. My sister and I would visit her home and have delicious meals, listen to music from her record player, and dance to our favorite songs, Brick House and Whip it Baby. (lol).
Later, while I was in college and then with my family, Adisa, Kioni, and Zuri, I would check in with phone calls and surprise trips to Philadelphia. Aunt Dot was the griot of the family. She would talk about the connections within our family lineage, birth names, nicknames, name changes and stories. She had an abundance of photos and memories to share. She was always gifting me food, plants, knowledge and serving ware.
It was truly a blessing to have Aunt Dot’s kindness, insight, wisdom, creativity, and strength. Our Ancestors welcomed and embraced her as a newly honored ancestor after her passage. So even if I cannot physically call her to check in, I will always have a connection with her as she is in my heart. Aunt Dot, I love you.

In this time of sorrow, it is profoundly felt how Dorothy radiated warmth through her kindness and lit up our world with her humor. Her courage inspired us, while her generosity touched many hearts. The wisdom she imparted during countless conversations will be deeply missed. Yet, the love she so freely gave shines on, enduring forever in our hearts. A sentiment capturing a life well-lived: Dorothy truly was everything to us.

Aunt Dot was an incredible person, loved by so many for good reason. My fondest memories are of visiting her place to spend quality time together, whether it be watching movies, helping with my homework, or simply talking. The thing I loved most was enjoying her cooking with my siblings. Her homemade meals brought people closer, and I cherish every single meal that I shared with her. She was kind, generous, and loving. When I was finishing up my bachelor's degree, she would always offer to call me for support and promised to be there whenever I needed her and I will never forget that. She touched so many people’s lives, not just mine, my siblings or my cousins. You left a mark on all of our hearts, and your memory will live on. I love you, Aunt Dot.

Words cannot express how I am truly feeling at this time. Aunt Dot was what I would call my “bonus” mother. I remember as a child she would take my sister and I to barbeques and would enjoy displaying our dancing skills (haha). Little did she know I didn’t feel that I was much of a dancer, but you could not tell her otherwise! I was always freely able to share all my accomplishments and challenges with her without any fear judgement. She would always convey that she was proud of me. A. Dot also provided consistent encouragement to my children. She would eagerly call me weekly to obtain an update regarding how they were performing in school, as well as any extracurriculars they may have been involved in. We recently had a small gathering at Aunt Dot’s house this past April. This gathering included myself, my mother, sister and all our children. We ordered take out and watched a movie. A. Dot expressed that she was happy to be able to see all of us and to spend this time together and at that time we vowed that we would do it more often. However, time was not on our side. Thankfully I was able to visit A. Dot in hospice the day before she passed away. I was able to hug her and for moment while talking with her she squeezed my hand. I knew at that moment that she was aware of my presence. I whispered a few things in her ear and showered her with kisses before leaving.
Aunt Dot taught me the true meaning of love, compassion, and hard work. Her unwavering support and encouragement have been a driving force, in helping me navigate life's complexities. Her wisdom and kindness have shaped me into the person I am today, and for that, I am eternally grateful. She be missed but never forgotten.

I am a friend of another member of this family and so I met Mrs Dot on many occasions. I found Mrs Dot very delightful. She was absolutely conversationally approachable, very intelligent, down to earth and friendly. I thought it was cool that we also both so happened to share interests in many discussion topics. A very nice and savvy person everyone remembers.

Dearest Aunt Dot
aka my other mother
I remember when we came to visit - my siblings and I; t-shirts with your name glimmering across the front of them was the latest fashion. You wanted to buy each of us this trendy wear. My sisters and cousins were so excited and could not wait to be seen wearing it. I, of course; had my eyes set on another treasure, one that only I could appreciate. I could see the bewildered look on your face as you exclaimed, “You don’t want a t-shirt like the other girls”? You added that I could get a t-shirt now and get drawing paper from another store.
Again, I had my heart set on paper - maybe a tablet with blank white sheets or plain paper used for typing; either one would do. You sighed and said, “ok, we are going to find you some drawing paper”. Somehow you knew this would be a task so you and I went on this venture together. We took a taxi to at least three different five and dime stores; by then I could see the sweat from your brows.
Finally, we found a small pack of 8 1/2 x 11 (white printing paper), you also bought pencils for drawing. I could never have been more happier that day. Thank you for this and many other fond memories.
I know I will forever miss you…Mom.
Love you, Sharon
(You go out of your way to make others happy.)

Aunt Dot was always there when needed. Aunt Dot was always loving, caring and would share anything. Aunt Dot always loved to cook and was considered the cook of the family. One of my last conversations with Aunt Dot was that she wanted to have a big cookout with the family. We are going to make sure that happens. You will be missed. Love You Aunt Dot ❤️

Dottie Dot was truly Aunt Dot to all who encountered her. She cooked and fed everybody and you had to take a plate home. Oh yeah, I got my cooking skills from her. Love you much Aunt Dot.
