Guestbook

  1. Aunt Dot was very active in her church and as a young boy she would pick me up and take me to VBS every summer to learn about the Bible and Jesus. I am eternally grateful for her influence and for her love and kindness. – Tom Hagan

  2. Aunt Dot would keep us in line when we went to visit and believe me that could be a task with as many kids as would be running around. She never forgot special occasions and sending a card when needed. She will be missed. Vicky Turner-Howe

  3. Pat,David, Jack Your Mom, Stevie, John, Vicky, Lee, Howard, Tom and Jim our Aunt was the last of an amazing group of our family. Of the 4 brothers and 1 sister and their spouses the Hagan clan brought 12 new souls into this world and from Looking around here today, numerous Grand children. The family continues.They taught us about the meaning of Family, loyalty perseverance and honor. I remember being at Aunt Dots And Uncle Francis Lees house for Christmas and family gatherings. I remember before my brother was born being at Dot and FLs house and how Aunt Dot took care of my Mom and got her to the hospital. I also remember you didn’t mess with Aunt Dot. I remember that feeling of security of family and knowing that all was well when we were all together. I left Missouri when I was 15 but the lessons learned from Aunt Dot and the entire family have been with me and I think all of us all of our years. Thank you Aunt Dot, a job well done , rest in peace,go to your just reward.

  4. Grandma always gave the best hugs. She would squeeze just enough to make you feel so special and loved. She also had the best laugh that could light up an entire room.
