    I have the most wonderful and fond memories of times shared with my Aunt Dolly and the rest of the family. Singing, laughing, great big hugs and smiles. I know some day we can all meet in Heaven and Praise Our Lord Together forever. I'm truly sorry I'm unable to come at this time, since I live here. But my Prayers and Love I send to you all. Sincerely, Theresa or T Dianne.
