Aunt Dot. I can't believe you are gone. It is something that never really crossed my mind I don't suppose because as far back as I can recall, you have always been there. Matter not what the reason I may come by to see you or wherever I would run into you over the years, I can say this. You were always the same person everytime I crossed paths with you. The same person with the loving heart and always happy to see me. Like I said, you were always there and it's just something I really cannot say that I would have really put much thought into, you no longer being here but know that I love you always and you will be missed by each and every one of us that loved you, knew you and saw you for the person you really were. Loving, kind, dedicated to your family but the first thing that comes to mind when I think of you and who you were? Consistent. They just don't make folks like you anymore sadly. Rest In Peace Aunt Dot. Fly High.
