To The Dotson Family
I light this candle and take a moment of silence to salute Lt. Dotson for wearing his badge proudly as he protected and served his community well for many years. He was an enjoyable co-worker and is sadly missed at the COA.
I thank God for allowing him to cross my path. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you for the days that lies ahead. "TRUST IN GOD"
