Aunt Dolly and I kept in touch for the last 36 years ever since my mom, her sister, Marilyn, was taken from us. She always wrote letters and sent funny cards, never letting the miles between us feel like distance. Thank you and God Bless.

To the Mabe family,
Dolly will be deeply missed, we have loved sharing our lives with her as well as hers with ours, we wish she was still here, but God has other plans for her that we have no control over. Love to all the Mabe family.

Dollys family,
I want you all to know how much Dolly meant to me... She was a good friend, even though she was 45 years older than me,she always listened to what I had to say wether it was important to her or not. I use to spend quite a bit of time with her before I moved to Ozark almost 2yrs ago. I would visit her on my lunch break or in the evenings when I could. I loved sitting on her front porch with her, and going out to dinner, or just watching TV. Dolly was truly a good friend...
