Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Carl were always a favorite to visit. It was a wild house with their 6 kids and the 6 of us. 12 kids in one house. Boy, oh, Boy did we have fun. One great memory for me is 1990, when Aunt Dorothy, Myself and My Daughter, Denise, made a 21 day trip to Europe. We laughed, ate, sang and hauled luggage from train to train all over Europe. She had directions from Uncle Carl that all he wanted was some French Wine. I think she paid twice as much to ship it home as it cost her. I will never forget when she and Uncle Carl came with Mom and Pop to Baton Rouge to visit us. I took them to N.O for Mardi Gras Parades. She had a blast catching beads for almost 8 hour. I had to almost physically drag her and mom away to head home that night. Once in the car, we realized she had rubbed a sore on her arm reaching over the railing to catch beads. But the VERY best memories are of "Marbles". She and I would play until 3 or 4 am after every one was in bed, be back up around 8 and start marbles again as soon as the breakfast dishes were done. She was a very special lady, who loved deeply. She will be missed in this world.
Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you as you go through this time of adjustment. Even though we know she is in a better place, fully whole again, it is never easy. Love and hugs to all of you. Karen, Linn and all of our family.
