I am saddened to hear of Miss Dot's passing & have her family in my prayers. I worked with her for K & B in the 70's. She with Revlon & me with Max Factor stocking many new stores. She was always kind, had a funny story to tell and had a wonderful laugh & smile.

God Bless this special Lady! A person whom I never forgot. I worked with Mrs.Dot back in 1976 when I was 20 Years Old at K & B on Greenwell Springs Road. What a pleasure as a young person with a "first" job to be trained by such a honest..respectful lady. I never forgot her as I moved on to another career. My condolences to her family as Heaven has a special Angel who was blessed with a long life on earth.
