I loved Aunty Dolly very much and prayed for her during her struggle. I know she is in a better place now, but will still miss her and remember the last day we spent together. Thanks for teaching me cards that day!

We’ll all miss Aunty Dolly’s love, laughter, warmth, kindness, generosity, sense of fairness, devotion to family, bossiness, silliness, and much, much more.
For those of us who really knew Dolly, our worlds and family parties will be sadder a lot less colorful without her. At the same time, those of us who were blessed enough to know her have no doubt that heaven just got a lot more fun and way more interesting!

I love you lady!

Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says, "There, she is gone!"
There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout,
"Here she comes!"

I love you my sister!

Your families are in our thoughts and prayers as you deal with your loss. Both Dolly and Charlie became the "grandparents" to our four kids after my parents passed with even the Dairy Queen trips whenever they came up north. Your Auntie Dolly was the most gracious, kind and down to earth neighbor and friend I could ever wish for. We loved her.

Thanks for making my life richer, my world a much, much better place, and hopefully me a kinder and gentler person. I'll miss you Aunty. Rest now...
