Our condolences to you & your family. We were unable to make it to the funeral when we found out. I had been thinking about Dolly just recently. We shared the same birthday, a few years apart. Hope you & the family are doing well. Please stay in touch.

I will always remember Aunt Dolly when I was growing up. They lived out the ridge from my home for several years. I would go out to see her and my uncle Bid. She always gave me a set of dishes she played with when she was a child. I would take them and go outside and sit in the dirt, I think like under an old building.I will always remember that when I think of her. Rest in peace my loving Aunt Dolly. Your neice Shirley.
