Jeannette and I so wish we could be there. Thinking of and praying for both of you.
Dear Charlotte and Rita: I send my condolences to you both and to your extended family. I always have fond memories of Dot’s sweet smile as we went to Horseshoe Lake back in the 1960s to go boating, swimming, and water skiing. You had very nice parents. She also was a good cook! As we often had food on the pontoon boat.
