Dear Aunt Doe Doe, if I could make one wish for us I’d wish for you to come back so that we could hear you laugh again. You always knew how to make us laugh. Now we laugh between our tears. There is a time for everything but I am not sure that this was your time. I just hope that from where you are you know how much we all love you and cherish the memories you gave us. I hope you are happy and peaceful, I hope there is no more pain for you and most of all wherever you are I hope you are dancing all the time.

Hi Vicki:

Its Yvonne. Jerri let me send this message to you.

I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family for your loss. A sister is irreplaceable.

There's nothing else to say. Sometimes, words are so inadequate.

You have been a great friend and supporter to me and I appreciate everything you've done to help me at Wm. Blair.
