Hi, Robin:

I was saddened by your mom's passing...I remember her so vividly.

It seems like yesterday that Prince ate the WHOLE Thanksgiving turkey at your old home on Main Street! :)

Again, my condolences and warmest wishes. "We pass this way but once", and Dottie was a highlight of my journey.

Dear Robin and Jimmy and family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss. I love this picture of Aunt Dottie -- it reminds me of some pictures I found of her and my father when I was closing out his home after he passed away in 2000. I sent some of the pictures to Aunt Dottie -- in the high school era photos they were all dressed up for a dance, and were full of youth and beauty. May you be blessed with comfort, strength and many happy memories to carry you through this time of loss and throughout the years to come. Much love, Bonnie

Dear Family,
Mrs. Brown was a dear friend and neighbor. She was the first one to welcome us into the neighborhood in March 2005 with her famous pimento cheese. What a lovely lady. One who will be missed and remembered. Love & prayers, Avis & David
