Aunt Dot,
You will forever be remembered in my mind for your happy nature and smile. Every single time I ever saw you, you had an ear to ear smile that could turn even the cloudiest day into a sunny one for anyone. You will never be forgotten by any of us, and we are the lucky ones to have had the pleasure of ever knowing you and being graced with your presence.
