We are so sorry we weren’t aware of your mom’s passing. She was always a part of Briggs Auction, especially her friendly leadership off the outdoor flea market. I fondly remember the picnics your mom and dad would host in the tree grove in the backyard. The horse shoe games were intense! Such good memories. She was a lovely lady. Please accept our belated sympathies to all.
I am so sorry to hear this. My condolences and prayers to the family.
Aunt Dot was a awesome lady, that inspired me in many ways. Never to be forgotten.
