Aunt Dovie was always such a sweet person. I remember her cutting Carol’s hair at the reunion. Prayers for peace and comfort for those she leaves behind.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. My condolences to all of you.
I’m so sorry for your loss.I am praying for you all.
So sorry to hear of Aunt Dovie’s passing. I so enjoyed her posts of her flowers she had grown. Many prayers of peace and comfort during this difficult time. Because of family health issues, we will not be able to attend her services, but will be present in thoughts.
Such a sweet lady whose pride in her family came through in the stories she told each time I saw her. Proud to have known she and Mr. Gagen. May God’s peace bring you comfort.
