You will be greatly missed Aunt Dottie. So many good memories of playing Balderdash! I loved watching you laugh at yourself and all of us. Maybe you and Bev can get the family to play. Love you and will never forget you. You and others have left us plenty of material to keep you close at heart and forever on my mind! God love you and keep you.
