My sincere condolences to all the family of cousin Lottie. She was always such a joy to be around. I will never forget her smile. So sorry I will not be able to attend the service, but know that all of the family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I am saddened to learn of the loss of Mrs. Lottie. Growing up in Howell, Mrs. Lottie was always nice and welcoming to me as child. I remember many times cutting through her back yard on my way anywhere and finding her at work in her flowers or vegetables. She had such a wonderful way with plants and a willingness to share that knowlege with a silly, noisy, curly hair girl. I am sure much of the knowledge I have today about plants was stuck in my long term memory during these conversations.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of sadness.
