My #1 auntie. She always called me Donnie Rose. She use to tell of changing my dresses over and over throughout the days like I was her little doll when I was a baby. Gosh I truly loved her. It’s sad to say how relocating to Arkansas separates the once closeness shared by family. I wish we’d been closer the last few years. Hope your having a heavenly reunion with friends and loved ones auntie. We will be together again when the Lord calls me home. Thank heavens for wonderful memories.
