Paula and I extend our deepest sympathy for your loss.

I was so glad I was able to see Dot at her 100th birthday party in FL several years ago and will always have fond memories spending time during summer vacations with Aunt Dot and Uncle Bill (my godfather)at their store in Vermont when I was growing up. I can also recall the evening card games with Dot in their residence over the village store and their stopping off to attend our Wedding when Paula and I got married. These and many other fond memories will remain with me always.
