Dear Aunt Dorthy,
You were and will always be a major part of my life. You were there for every important memory of my life. As a child I saw you almost every Friday night, and every major holiday. You are truly one of three Aunts that I have, but really your the only Aunt I have ever known.

Thank you for teaching me how to swim. You took a week out of your summer and coached me. It was probably the best week I have ever had as a child. Thank you for always being there for me in my adolescence. You always took time to ask about me and my life. You and my Uncle were sponsors at my wedding and were apart of everything that was important in my life. I regret not spending enough time with you over The years but I know you have been with me in spirit. I want you and your family to know that I love you and I am so grateful you were my Aunt. Until I meet you again in heaven.

Love Will
