Oh " aunt Doe"...you were so kind to me when I came to visit dad in 85-86? I loved staying with you...loved going to to that restaurant "top hat"...I never forget how excited and kind you were when you got to meet Jims daughter Cheryl , your niece..and how you yelled at dad for being to hard on me...wish I could've spent more time w/you.I loved your company. I have thought about you often "doe"...my 9 year old son ( Brady J. Tiso) recently passed away from a long 5 yr. Battle with brain cancer. Seems like most everyone is gone now. I miss you and love you.
