Hello, my name is Cindy Stoy Rosado. I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Aunt Dot. I talked to her last month to tell her Linda Carl had passed away March 1st, I know they spoke often. The last thing Linda told me when she was in the hospital she wanted to get out to go see Aunt Dot. I hope they’re together now. Also her nephew Bill Carl would like to know of any memorial service. God bless all.
