I remember the way Aunt Dot smelled (Chanel No 5) And I know this is silly but the sound of her apple crunching when she took a bite.I wear Chanel No 5 all the time. And when I eat my apple every morning I try to make that same crunching sound. Love you all Sue
I never met your mom in person, but I heard about her since the 60’s, and feel as if I know her. She must have been a wonderful woman to have raised a wonderful person like you, Claudia. My heart felt sympaty to you, Bob, and all your children. So sorry for your loss.
Aunt Dot was the most caring, nuturing person I have ever known. She took care of Uncle Chick, Grandpa Fry and then Lou. She shared her love of ballroom dancing with Lou and earned every happiness she experienced. Rest in peace! Shirley Bailey
