Dear Uncle Jack, David, Jan, Lori, Zenon, Robert and Samantha. Your mom was a very special person who had the best sense of humor. We could always count on her for great laughs. I remember when she was down here to see grandpa before he passed and she had us all laughing all night. She didn't like the hotel that they stayed in and she let it be known. Your mom will be greatly missed by me and my family. Please take care, and keep in touch. All my love Kerrie, Darren, Tyler and Brady. - Posted by: Kerrie Anderson (Family) on: May 24, 2005

I have lots of fond memories of Aunt Dot and had lots of laughs with her. I will never forget her. I am so glad she and Uncle Jack were able to make it to our wedding. We really enjoyed having them. She died on the same day as my mom, only a different year. My mom was May 15th, 1987. My mom's second name was Irene also and they were both married to Sheffield brothers. What a coincidence. Love always Lynn and Fred - Posted by: Lynn and Fred Graver (Family) on: May 18, 2005
