Yesterday

I´m so sorry to hear of Dot´s passing. I have many memories of going to her house (just down the street from my house). She always had a smile on her face. I loved the Provo family.
I wish I could pay my respects in person but I´ll be out of town. I would love to see all of the family, especially Jeff and Joanie.
