My life will forever be enriched for knowing this sweet soul.i will have many meomories to remember her and will chersh them forever
I am so sad to find out almost a year later that this spunky first little lady is no longer with us. She is my favorite Aunt. I always looked forward to seeing her and Uncle Buster when they came to visit in Northern Ky. She and I would sit outside and talk about everything, we laughed so much. After grandma passed, she never came back, but we called each other when we could. Especially when Tiger Woods won golf tournaments. She would be so fired up! Bless her heart. Now I no why i couldn’t get ahold of her but i wish i would have tried harder. The best thing is, I know she is with Uncle Buster or “Buck” as she called him. AUNT DOTTY, I LOVE YOU! Bill and Cindy my condolences and I hope all is well with you and your family.
