Aunt Dorothy was always the life of the party at our family gatherings. It was unusual for me to be quiet, but I’d try to blend in to the furniture, just to be allowed to sit around the kitchen table and listen to Aunt Dorothy and Aunt Linda make wisecracks. We all loved her Damn Coconut Cake and she usually obliged us by bringing it on Thanksgiving...and made sure we knew how much trouble it was to make it! She seemed larger than life to me, when I was a kid, and I think I developed a knack for story telling listening to her use of colorful phrases...some of which she really didn’t know what they meant. She always impressed me with her sense of humor, even when I tried to get her to sip unsweetened tea when I came to see her in the hospital. She will be greatly missed in our family, but I’m looking forward to a reunion with her and Mema someday.

I remember Mrs. Kolb from church at Hamshire. She was always involved and always there. After I left and then moved back with my family, I ran into her at an end of school party for one of my kids and we had a lovely visit. Mrs. Kolb was such a beautiful and lovely lady. Our community and church was blessed to have her influence. My prayers are with all of her family.
