To the Connor family, I have very fond memories of Dot as my music teacher at Xavier College in the 1980s. Her kindness, warmth and genuine care for her students made her someone we all respected and admired. More than 40 years later, I still remember her fondly and remain grateful for the positive influence she had on so many young people, including myself. Please accept my sincere condolences. I am sorry that I am unable to be there today to pay my respects. Jon

My deepest sympathy to the Connor family on the passing of your wonderful mother and grandmother. Dot was a loyal colleague, trusted friend and a much appreciated mentor when I started at Xavier College in 1998. She was much loved by fellow staff and the students just adored her. We all loved her with, her humility and genuine care of others. A very special person who will always be remembered by those around her. I send my condolences as I am unable to attend the funeral on Monday. Greg Carey
