My beautiful Aunt Do. When I think of you a smile comes on my face and I feel love in my heart. You always had a way of lighting up a room when you entered. When I was younger I couldnt wait to see you at church because I always knew you had brought me a sausage sandwich. It was something about the way you smashed the sandwich and wrapped it in foil that made it taste oh so good. My sweet Aunt Do you will truely be missed but never forgotten. I love you.
