Aunt Dottie was one of a kind💗
You could always count on her to reassure you if you were struggling. Everyone went to Aunt Dottie. She always took time to call and check in with everyone, or if you called her first-she would always make time for you. She was our go-to, our confidant.
At a wedding, If you didn’t want your complimetary champagne toast…..she would take it💗. If your dessert was so yummy that you wanted to lick your plate……just look over at Aunt Dottie…..she would say “Do it! I’m going to lick mine” 🤣🤣🤣 The Life of the party, the voice of reason, a shoulder to vent and cry on, a woman who lived life to the fullest💗 We should ALL strive to be like her💗💗. I Love and Miss you, please give Uncle Bo a big hug from me♥️♥️♥️♥️
