    I’m so very sorry for your loss!!! Mrs. Watson was my 2nd mom!! She lived next door to me and was my babysitter. My favorite memories of her was her spaghetti she would make for me and Becky. Then we would watch Bozo . So was a very loving person to me. I’m so lucky to have had her in my life. You will be missed dearly. All my love to you Mrs. Watson!!

    I don’t remember a lot about my aunt dorthy, well aunt dot as me and my bro there called her. Before she went to the nursing home me and my brother luke never hardly knew her. But I think it was maybe around the age to where luke was 7 and I was 10. And we kept on going there every Halloween of every year from then on. Me and my brother might have started going there younger. But every year she would have a huge smile on her face every time we walked through her door.
