Aunt Dot, You will be missed but our memories of you and Uncle Ray will live on. One memory that we are particularly fond of, is the fun that we shared when we visited you and Uncle Ray in St. Petersburg. I can still see the 4 of us standing on the pier looking at the Gulf of Mexico and riding around St. Pete's taking in all the tourist sites. You certainly were the 'hostess with the mostest'.
