Rest In Peace Auntie Dolly

Auntie Dolly

This weekend we had some awful news.

The best Auntie you could possibly wish for

passed away.

I wasn't sure I was going to put anything on here

but I want people to know just how special she was.

My Auntie Dolly was my mums older sister and there

was eighteen years between them.

She was 81 years old when she passed away.

You can't tell from the picture that she was that old

and to be honest I think she was the most young

at heart person I have ever known.

My Auntie Dolly was always there if you needed a hand.

She would be always helping at parties and you

often found her cleaning dishes at the sink.

She was always the greatest fun at the party!

Red Monster had a pirate party when he was about six.

Auntie Dolly and the rest of my mums relatives

got dressed up with the rest of us.

We all wore pirate hats and eye patches

and went off round the house with a treasure map.

Auntie Dolly was such good fun and nothing stopped her.

She was up on the trampoline jumping about with

the kids.

She was often first on the dance floor at a party

and when it came to the kids games

she was first sat on the floor.

My mum is one of nine so as you can imagine

there are a lot of nieces and nephews

as well as all their children.

Auntie Dolly never forgot one of them and would

spend the whole year buying Christmas presents.

She didn't have much money but she always made

sure she got something for everyone.

She loved knitting and would make toys etc.

for so many people.

When Red Monster was born she made him a little

footballer and made it in blue (her husband and children

are Everton supporters).

When she heard that D was a Manchester United supporter

she made him a red one as well.

She would knit things for the premature babies

at her local hospital.

There are so many babies out there that were kept

warm with something my Auntie had made them.

Auntie Dolly will be sorely missed.

She was a rock and the glue of the family.

I was so lucky to have her as my Auntie!
