I'm so sorry that we have lost Aunt Doe. She always made you feel special and she pampered us, some people call it spoiling but it was really pampering. She was always soft spoken and seemed to enjoy her family and friends greatly. I know she will be missed by many. I will treasure the letter she sent in her Christmas wishes last year.
