My deepest sympathy on the passing of Aunt Dot. Even though I haven’t seen her in such a long time, she has and will always have a special place in my heart. So many fond memories spent with her, Aunt Denise, and Tina when I was growing up. My heartfelt condolences to Barb, Donnie, and all her grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchild. She truly was a caring lady that will be remembered and loved by many.
So sad to hear of this loss. I will truly miss my Aunt Dot. She was always so sweet to everyone and always made smiles come to the faces around her. Know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers throughout this time and that I love you all.
Our condolences to the family.
