To All My cousins,
You all have my deepest sympathy at this time of sadness. Even though we never spent too much time together as the years have gone by, Aunt Dot was always on my mind. She never forgot us and always had a kind word for all. I'm sure she will be missed by everyone. God has a plan for all of us and this time his plan was to have her with him. There will be no more suffering or tears of sadness. She is in a better place and one day we will all be there together forever.
All My Love,

My thoughts and prayers to Wallace and family at this sad time. My memories of Dot will always be of a strong and beautiful woman who loved her family and cared deeply for everyone. She always wrote me a very personal and lovely note each Christmas and I will miss that.
Caring for her family,

There are a few people in my life who I believe come as close to being a saint and Aunt Dot was one of them. Just saying her name brings a warmth and a smile to my face. Growing up, my mom and Aunt Dot would take all 9 of us kids on vacations and make them into magical, crazy, fun times that still make us laugh today. She made every get together special. It was always fun going to Aunt Dot and Uncle Wal's house. Aunt Dot had the incredible ability to love and accept everyone for who they were and love them unconditionally. She taught our family about love, about honor, about faith, about fun and most important that no matter what you can always count on family. Through her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren she has passed down all of these traits and we will continue to strengthen our bond and our good times. Although, it will never be the same. We will continue to honor and love her. She will always hold a special place in my heart and although it is hurting very badly right now I do know that with time the hurt will be replaced with the warmth, love and memories I will hold forever. Our love goes out to Uncle Wal, Tony, Nancy, Tommy, Gayle, Larry, Donna, Rick, Kat, A.J., Tami, Jen, Eric, Larry Jr., Chris, Dawn, and Danny. We love you and together we will get through this sad time.
All our love, Cousin Diane, Farrokh, Arman & Soraya

While we feel incredible sadness at this time and the hole in our hearts seems unmendable we say with great love and admiration how much we loved our Auntie Dot. She is our commander in chief of fun and we all have felt the uncoditional love she was capable of. Her work here is done but it continues to grow in her children and extended family. When we say Auntie Dot we smile. May God keep you in his care. Love Susan, Ed, Maddie and Jackie Gronske.

Mom I can never ever ever thank you enough for what you have done for me and my children.
Love you more than you will ever know.

I came into Dot's life 54 years ago and always have felt that I really won the lottery, having her as a sister. We totally shared our lives, filled with "Tons of Love", laughter, joy, and of course there were times of sadness and tears along the way. Dot suffered the most painful, heart wrenching loss of Linda. Her Faith never faltered, not for a minute. She truly is a living example of a devoted servant to her Heavenly Father. When we went to visit her, we would stay 8-9 hours. We had to bring our dog Sadie, as she couldn't be left alone for all that time. Of course Aunt Dot made Sadie feel right at home, along with her Chubby and Donna's Reilly. On our last visit we had so much fun playing cards, and laughing until the tears were running down our cheeks. I am so thankful for that last visit. Now whenever I think of her, I see her Happy Smiling face. She is an inspiration to all who knew her. With all her physical challenges, her spirit remained young and hopeful. She never once complained, and always made everyone feel good. You are my dearest Dot. I will always Love you, Admire and respect you. I honor you, a most remarkable woman. My deepest sympathy and love go to Wal, Tony and Nancy, Tom and Gayle, Larry, Donna and Rick, Kat, A.J., Tami, Jen and Eric, Larry Jr, Dawn, Chris, Danny, and Baby Jackson.

Since I was a little boy, I always felt so safe and secure having a Loving sister to watch over me. Thru my teens, the pillow fights, and cooking potatoes on a bonfire are joyful memories to never be forgotten. When I was away playing baseball, Dot watched over my beautiful Irene. She accepted my new wife as her sister and they bonded together all through the years. Having two
Polish girls ganging up on me, I bonded with Wal
as my brother so that we could level the playing field. And what a playing field it was. We had so much fun thru the years, celebrating everything that you can imagine. As our families grew we became a close knit, fun loving clan. We did everything together, organized by Dot and Irene. They made sure we laughed and played together, and till this day, I feel our families are so close because of these two remarkable, loving women. God gave me a sister beyond compare and I am happy that she is now with her Lord, and still watching over me and our families. I have a comforting feeling, that if I need her help, I will close my eyes and pray, and she will be there to hear me. Till we meet again, your loving brother Rich.

To my Dear Sweet Best Friend, Dawn, Grandpa Wally, Larry, Aunt Donna and Brothers Larry, Chris and Danny. My thoughts and constant love are with all of you in this time of sorrow. I love all of you as if you were my own family. You ARE my family.
My fondest memory of Grandma Dot was her constant cooking and feeding of the masses. It didn't matter if you came over right after you had dinner, it was still EAT EAT EAT! Here, have this! Here, I know you like this! Here, you need some meat on those bones!
What a wonderful and special and precious woman Grandma Dot was. I will dearly miss her and love her with all of my heart. This world may have lost a precious soul but Heaven has just welcomed their best Angel.
All my Love,
Aimee, Rob and Jeffrey

"Let not your hearts be troubled; for in my Father's house are many mansions, and I have prepared a place for you; and where my Father and I am, there ye shall be also."
To the entire Sartor and Dirienzo Families our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this most difficult time. I can't think of anyone more deserving of a mansion, her faith never waivered. I'm sure she already has everyone over for a wonderful reunion.

I have so many fond memories of Cousin Dot from my childhood. When our family's got together, we always had so much fun with both she and Wally. Dot was such a wonderful person!! She was the "salt of the earth. She will be sadly missed by all.
My deepest sympathy to Wally and Family.
Love, Eileen Kondra Saxton

Couldn't have asked for a better neighbor! She inspired me by providing me with the best memories anyone could could ask for as far as having a neighbor is concerned. I truly did love Dorothy, because she brightened day, every day!

How does a daughter put into words the sorrow and pain she feels for the loss of her mother, her best friend, her confidant, her inspiration. She doesnâ??t. Instead she puts into words all the wonderful things that she feels so grateful for during her 43 years she was graced with the most wonderful mother, best friend, confidant and inspiration.
Throughout my life I can recall many times that I literally thanked God that I was given the mom that he chose for me. I thanked him for creating her so that she was able to share all her wonderful qualities with me. I have become the person that I am because my mom shared with me the morals, the self-confidence and the extended space in my heart to love others, as well as to love myself.
Although I will deeply miss the physical hugging and holding of my momâ??s hand, there is a giant place in my heart that she now fills, even more than she ever did, that I could reach into anytime I want and feel her warmth, love and support. She has given me so many things that I will carry with me every moment for the rest of my life. I am almost ashamed to admit that each time she pops into my mind I find myself smiling.
She is now pain free in the hands of her loving God; in the place where she lived her whole life dreaming about. I remember when my sister passed away three years ago and I was grieving with mom one day, she said, â??God only let me borrow Linda for a while. She really always belonged to him and he was just wonderful enough to let me take care of her until he needed her back.â?? Well God must have needed mom back now. She fulfilled her mission here and now will begin her journey blessing others with her amazing presence.
Thank you God for the gift you have given all of us! We will cherish the time we had with her and all the memories that we created together that will keep us celebrating her life!
You truly are and will always be
â??The Wind Beneath My Wingsâ??

I have so many wonderful thoughts and memories of Mrs. Sartor, that it makes me smile to think about her. Her leaving this earth is painful, but the faith she instilled in anyone she met , makes that pain alittle easier. If you knew "Dot," you now know she is in a place that guided her entire life. Heaven. I will miss her dearly, but will continue to remember the wonderful memories, such as the yearly Christmas cards. Unbelieveably, Mrs. Sartor would thank me for being "Donnamarie's" best friend. She never had to thank me... who could ask for a better blessing. I know we both felt the same. She was an amazing human being and I will miss her. All my love, Mimi

To My Dear Uncle Wal,Tony,Nancy,Tom,Gayle, Larry,Donna,Rick,Jen,Tami,AJ,Katt,Dawn,Larry Jr,Chris,Danny & Baby Jackson,
Aunt Dot was such a precious gift to us all. As a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, neice, cousin and friend she poured herself into raising, nurturing, celebrating and loving her family without any limits. She treasured every moment she had with each one of her loved ones and it seemed that there was no end to the love she poured over us all. She adored her children and grandchildren and most recently her first great-grandson. She always made each of us feel so special to her. I often wondered how she never tired of doing for others... Never ever tired of loving us and always building us up and spreading joy throughout our entire family. No holiday or celebration was complete unless Aunt Dot was involved. Even if she couldn't physically be there (as she got older) she still held a great presence with us in spirit..She would want to see pictures and hear all the details about what fun we had together celebrating family. She was never too busy to spend time with you. Just being with Aunt Dot is a treasured memory for me. From the time I was a little girl, I can remember always being excited just to go Aunt Dot and Uncle Wal's. As soon as I walked into their home, I felt happy, loved beyond measure, and accepted for who I was. She saw the good in everyone. There was always so much joy and laughter when you were with Aunt Dot. She was so kind to everyone. I can't remember one single time that Aunt Dot was ever "in a bad mood". Her world was her family and loved ones and "loved ones" meant anyone who was blessed enough to know her. She had compassion for everyone and she would go to the ends of the earth to help anyone in need. She prayed continuosly for all of us and her greatest concern is that we would all know Jesus as she did. She drew all her strength from her faith in God and she has been a mentor of mine my entire life. I seem to remember every little word she said whether she wispered or shouted it. I spoke of her often and all who know me here in Georgia know of her too because she had a profound effect on my life and I talked about her so much and I will continue to do so as her depth of faith is something I aspire to. I will never forget her sweet gentle voice and her contagious laugh. What fun we all had over the years. I believe she is truly a saint and I know she resides with our preciuos Jesus now. Her legacy will live on through generations because she instilled a strong bond of love in our family. I am looking forward to continuing our traditional family gatherings and laughing and feeling her presence amongst us when we are together. So as Aunt Dot would say.... "so long for now" because she knew this separation is only temparary... for she knew that all those who believe in Jesus will be reunited once again in Heaven eternally.... Thats's a lot of time to play War, Piggy, Dots and Hangman and I can't wait! I love you Aunt Dot and I thank you for all your love.
Love Linda , Brit and Kim Leonard t
