Tammy and Doug. My heart goes out to you . Aunt Dan holds a special place in my heart. .
Tammy, Doug &Ray,
I am shocked as I just now opened today’s paper to find my beautiful friend’s obituary. Since I have called numerous times & left messages which Dot did not return, I felt sure something was wrong because she used to always return my calls. We were planning to go out to eat as soon as it was feasible with the coronovirus so rampant. Oh how sorry I am to learn of Dot’s death. She was so very proud of her family. I always told her to bring pictures of her grandchildren we we used to eat out.
You have my deepest sympathy.
