What an amazing lady my Aunt Dolly was. In my memories of her, she gave her whole self to help others, and I hope I can be as giving as she always was. She was always happy to see you and welcomed you into her home. You could find her in the kitchen cooking for whoever showed up. I am thankful to be a part of this loving family.
