Mrs. Koll was such a kind and fun loving person. I’ll always remember the card games in Michigan and all the fun we had there with her and Mr. Koll and the rest of the family. She also made the best Christmas cookies! We’ll miss her so much.

I cannot find the words to express my deepest and profound sympathy to all, especially Paul. Dot was more than a good friend she was more like a much loved older sister to me. We shared a lot through the years and I will miss her immensely. She helped me through the death of John and through all the worry of the twins birth. I can honestly say that my life will not be the same without her. God help you all thru these trying times.
