Oh yes, I smiled from ear to ear because of your kind words. I will miss all of the laughter and you calling me to go get you some of your favorite "chicken and a cold Pepsi Cola. The list goes on and on and I never want it to end so rest assure I will cherish every moment we had together, and I will look forward to the day when we will see each other again. WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN WHAT A DAY OF REJOICING THAT WILL BE , WHEN WE ALL SEE JESUS WE WILL SING AND SHOUT THE VICTORY..... I really hate I did not get a chance to make you another key lime cake but I will make them and now I will call them the Aunt Dot Lime Cake...... and sweet potato pies will never be the same because you made those pies with LOVE.
