Dottie was the very first person I met when I was hired as Our Lady of Pompei’s Organist and Music Director in 1978, and I immediately recognized her enormous talent for singing, and the unique gift God had bestowed upon her. Ave Maria, Prayer of St. Francis, and Sento La Tua Mano were her signature solos, sung countless times for weddings, funerals, and Sunday Mass. The Church was her life, and music was her way of giving back to the parish family that she so dearly loved. It was my honor and privilege to have made music with her for the past 40+ years. Her presence and laughter will be greatly missed in the choir. My condolences to Dottie's family and friends, and to all who knew her. Well done, good and faithful servant! May choirs of angels lead you into paradise.
