    I was saddened to hear of Mrs. James' passing. I visit a friend, named Lola, at Stonebridge Health Campus regularly and sometimes eat dinner with her. Mrs. James ate at the same table as Lola. She was a beautiful, well-groomed lady and I enjoyed the brief conversations that we had at the dinner table. She always seemed to have a very positive and kind attitude in spite of her struggles to eat. People that can age gracefully, like Mrs. James, are a great inspiration to me. I will be sorry to not see her at the dinner table anymore. Sincerely, Bonnie

    I will miss Dot. When I was a member of her family years ago, I could not have asked for a better mother-in-law. She and I shared many happy times together over the years, some sad ones, too, and she was always there for me. She was kind, compassionate and had a beautiful soul!! One major thing I remember is that I hardly ever heard her say negative things about anyone...she always found the good!! Regrets that I am out of town. It would have been a great honor to have played at her service. Everyone is in my thoughts and prayers. :(

    We were truly sorry to hear of Dot's passing. Although we were neighbors for many years, I never really got to know Dot until recently. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with her almost daily at StoneBridge. She was always so vibrant and a true joy to talk to. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
