Aunt Dolly was my godmother. She sent me a birthday card and two dollars every year till I was in my mid-thirties. The bond between my father and his sister and brother is so strong, you can feel it and almost see it. What a blessed life you had!
Love, Pat

Grandma Dolly you were a great woman with a heart of gold. You will be missed by many, but now you get to spend some well needed time with your husband. You were a great mom, grandma, and great grandma. You always made sure everyone was accepted and comfortable. We love you Grandma Dolly.

Our dearest friends Mike & Cindy:
We are sorry for the loss of your dear mother (mother-in-law). We are so happy though that you got to have Mother's Day with your mom this year and that she called you the night before her passing. It is like a guardian angel was looking over her telling her to call her son. She is with her husband now and it is good to know she left this world peacefully and in no pain. All our thoughts and love are with you as you mourn the loss of your dear mom. All our love, Ken & Julie
