We are so very sorry for your loss. We will keep you all in our prayers and ask God to give you peace.
My memories of Aunt Dot are especially of my monthly visits. I loved all the stories only she could tell,,,, and learned so much from her. She was a tough woman with a soft a heart. She was wiser than everyone thought. We loved each very much, and I will miss her dearly.
Joe Yocavitch and family.
