Dottie loved the color red❤️, so yesterday we made sure her favorite color filled the sky.

It was a beautiful, heartbreaking, perfect tribute to a woman who gave so much to our Doxey family.

Seeing everyone come together to lift these balloons up for her was a reminder of just how much she was loved.

We miss you every day, Dottie. 🎈
