    Z I'm so sorry that I could not come down for the funeral of Aunt Dorothy. I only found out late last evening and had already promised to take my grandson to the dentist today. Anyway, she was one-of-a-kind! I dearly loved being around her and hearing all the stories she had to tell us of our family! I wish we had gotten her on video. She will be sadly missed.

    I wasn't able to come to the funeral home last Tues. because of the bad weather, but would like to know if anyone would have an email address (preferably) or regular address for Dorothy's sister Opal Jean's daughter Brenda (Jean) Mingee. The last contact I had with her several years ago, she was up in the Indpls. area. Thanks Don Matson Ellettsville, In.
