To Jerry and all of Dottie's family....
Art and I will be forever thankful that we were able to visit with you all
in June of 2009. We got to visit with everybody, including Aunt Willabelle. Dottie and Jerry welcomed us with open arms like the "long-lost" cousins that we were...and it was as if we had not been seperated all those years. I know she is in a better place now and she can breathe without any trouble, at all. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you all during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Dottie...
With our love and deepest sympathy,
Margaret and Art Angell
