We express our sorrow in the lost of our Aunt Dorothy. She was a very caring person and we will miss her very much, and she will remain in our prayer always. I will always remember her and my uncle Charlie for they gave us when we were kids our first dog.

I know my sister is in a better place and without pain no more. I will miss her very much and do cherish all the good times we did have together.
