Our prayers go out to the family of Aunt Tootsie. What a wonderful lady she was. Aunt Tootsie always made you feel welcome and was so funny. We loved to talk politics with her and get her fired up. I'm so glad her sisters are welcoming her in heaven with open arms.

I am sorry to hear of Tootsie's passing and my sympathies to her children. I just know that she and Tina and Aunt Louise are all happy sisters together and seeing their mother whole and seeing their father lost so long ago. I enjoyed the times I visited with Toosie and Aunt Louise. God bless family.
