Mommom I will never forget all the fun times we shared whether at your house or down at Joyce's. I know a lot of people say there is no such thing as a perfect person but that is not true because you are. You loved angels which makes sense because you were one to everyone. You were always happy and you never judged anyone which I always admired about you. I'll never forget the time you let me stay with you for awhile and we sat and talked about anything and everything for hours. Although I will miss you in person I no your spirit is always with me. I love you so much and I know that you are in heaven catching up with the rest of the family. Rest In Peace beautiful.

D0T was the sweetest person I have known when I was a teenager friends with her daughters Joyce and Pat. I am so glad I had the time to visit her before God had taken her away, I will miss you Dot. You'll always be in my heart. You will be missed.

Dorothy was a wonderful Aunt to me. As a teenager, I loved spending time with her, Roy and their Boston Terrier (Princess) and visiting my Grandmother Helen. She taught me how to crochet, showed me the value of vitamins and made the best chocolate chip cookies though she thought she added too much butter one time, they were the best I've had. She earned her wings for Heaven. Bless her soul.
