It was with a heavy heart that I learned of Aunt Dorothy's passing. My sisters and I were very lucky to have a wonderful loving family around us all our growing years. An early memory is Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Reg baby sitting Evelyn, Linda and I, when were all sleeping in one bed at the Parker house. Dorothy, so young and beautiful, and Reg so handsome. Mom and Dad had a rare night out. Barbara luckily joined us a few years later. I have many fond memories of large family get togethers over the years. My best wishes to Uncle Reg, and all of my cousins. With love to all, Anne
