“Aunt Doll was a loving and friendly person. Whenever I saw her she always cheerful and glad to see me. I have wonderful memories of her and can still see her smiling. Now she is with her adoring and loving husband Uncle Cotton. Doris “
“The Johnson Family: It takes a long time to get used to the loss of someone we love, but it’s important to remember that when people die, they leave something special behind, they leave us memories of many things they said and did. As long as we have those memories the people we love will live on in our hearts and minds. She was one beautiful woman in every way, her personality, her looks, the way she dressed, and no one was a stranger to her. Whenever I would go shopping and that was often I would always run into her and Jeanie, her sister. We all loved shopping, and we had something in common, My sister Regina is married to Buck Guy their nephew, and Cotton’s neice Catherine Ann is married to my brother in law, Johnny Jones. (Skip’s brother) I am so sorry that I live so far away and will be unable to attend any of the services for her, but all of you will be in my prayers. May God bless each of you. Doris & Skip Jones”
