I love you and miss you! I now know you're in
Heaven. I'm happy for you! I know you are with God and Jesus!!

When my brothers and I were growing up, Aunite Dolly was staying with us and would "baby sit us" she would make sure we did our homework and stayed out of trouble.( what kind of trouble can three boys get into?) . She had good practice on us. Because she had raised two great kids, Joel and Joslyn. Then when she met Uncle Joe (before he was our Uncle) the three of us were the ones chaperoning them.
Thank you Auntie Dolly for being with us you have touched our lives in a very special way. And I know that you are there with our Lord in a beautiful place watching over us.
