Dear Aunt Dorothy Nell,
Please accept our condolences as our thoughts and Prayers are with you and the Dawkins Family during this difficult time of sorrow.
I will never forget my Uncle Hugh with his dazzling smile. We all loved and respected Uncle Hugh. It seems like yesterday, when I was a little girl and Uncle Hugh picked me up and carried me around. I can remember so vividly as a child watching Uncle Hugh and Dad [JT] work diligently together at Dawkins Auto. They appeared to be extremely happy and proud of their accomplishments during their “auto-mechanic days.” I’ll never forget the happiness that Uncle Hugh and Dad both endured while working together as a team. Their accomplishments inspired me to believe that anything is possible to achieve in life, when you follow your dreams and goals and have faith in the Lord.
It’s amazing how we remember the little things in life and how those little things often have a major impact on us, even when we grow-up and become older and wiser.
Thank you Uncle Hugh….I’ll always cherish those precious memories and I’ll never forget that beautiful and dazzling smile.
