I will miss my sister so very much. We didn`t talk every day but when we did it could be an hour or more to catch up on what was happening in our little world.I could tell her any and every thing .She was always and encourgement to me . She was so very sick and I know she is healed ,and is right where she longed to be . So weary ,and so very tired,and missed her loved ones who have gone before her. Her baby girl ,Elizabeth Grace,Bud ,our father and mother,son Mike,grandson Aaron and many others.
My sister Dot had a very given heart .She did so much for others because she loved doing it ,like taken goodies to all her Doctors appointments ,or fixing a meal for a family in need,all the affgans she made for so many babys or brides or family and not for Praise or to buy there Love .But because she loved. she will be missed by so many and I know I will see her again one day.I`m so happy she is with the LORD in a new and healed body.
