Aunt Dot has always been a part of my life since childhood.. If we didnt talk on the phone we wrote letters! I remember how I looked forward to getting them.
As an adult we visited as she & Gram visited us in New Jersey. She never forgot to call on a Birthday or Holiday or to check in just to see how Jeff was. My kids and now my grandcildren were always thought of.
I will never forget her trip to NJ and she stayed for 2 wks. We visited her child home & the church where she met Uncle Shortty & where they were married. She was so happy to go down memory lane. i will forever keep that memory.
I will miss our calls & texts greatly but I will never forget how you always made me feel. We love you Aunt Dot and may you rest easy.. XOXO
Love, Margaret & Jeff
