Aunt Dolly was such a great person. Always willing to help just like Uncle Jim. My fondest memory of her was when I was walking to school and she would always stop to pick me up. Dianne I know you will miss her so. Also you too Denny. My prayers go out to you both and your families. There is no doubt in my mind she is with the Lord. She no longer has pain. Rest in peace Aunt Dolly
