Dear Dorothy who has gone to join her father, Elvis, my baby brother whom I loved very much and always enjoyed his music. Will never forget him playing “Why Me Lord” and everyone singing along. We will miss you on this earth; but will see you and your dad in heaven.

I only got to know Dot for a little while but she was a very sweet and kind lady. I'm glad she was able to make it to mine and Chris's wedding I know she enjoyed it as much as we did. Now she's watching over all of us with Chris's dad and also mine.To all do not dwell that Dot is gone, be happy that she isn't suffering anymore and that she is in a better place now so there is no need to worry anymore yall will meet again one day soon.

Your favorite song was Free Bird ! We sang that together from time to time. There was never a time when we didn't see each other face to face to sit and talk , at least once every three days. We had deep conversations about religion, friends, and family, etc. We could read each other so well. I am one of the few that knew your deepest thoughts as we discussed them in the past and as we sat on your swing and rocked and laughed and prayed until the end. I will truly miss you Cuz !!
