Dottie was proud of her three children and their accomplishments. She enjoyed attending holidays, graduations, birthday parties, and all simchas. In her later years, she relished the opportunity to use Facebook Portal and see her grandchildren and great grandchildren on the screen. She looked forward to her nightly
phone calls from her children. There was no greater joy than receiving a package of photos in the mail from her grandchildren. She proudly displayed them in her apartment, which she stocked with extra lox, chocolate babka and orange juice for her family.
