Oh Dart, what I'm I going to do without you? You have been my best friend for 40 years. You were the best mother in law any one could have.. You never interfered, you always listened and was always there when ever I needed something, whether it was advice, calming me down or just being there. Not many people can say their mother in law was their best friend, but I sure could. You gave me lots of advice over the years some I needed and some I didn't want to hear... We had a lot of good times. I'm sure you had a good time while I was at the hospital with John eating everything and anything you shouldn't have...but that's okay... I think about how you were so mad at me for getting you the 4 prone cane and telling me to take it back..When I said you had to use it you just looked at me and said " I hate you sometimes". I went in your room and started laughing which made you really mad. I told you " I don't like you sometimes either". You were so mad and all I could do was laugh which made you madder. I'm sure going to miss you. I remember how you would call me about fixing your medicine for you and saying "Donna I only have 2 days of pills left" and I would say " that's good that means you'll live for 2 more days" Boy what I wouldn't give to hear you say those words to me once more..I know you know that if it wasn't for John being in the hospital I would have been with you till the end..... Please know that I love you with all my heart and sure hope that you and Charlie will help your son get better and make me strong.. Love you lots and will see you in the future........Give hugs and kisses to everyone for me..... Love you Donna

I'm so sorry for your loss especially since you guys are going through such a rough time right now. She sounded like she was a wonderful woman, mother, wife, mother in law, and grandmother. Please accept my sincerest apologies. RIP Ms. Dorothy Ingram.

Aunt Dorothy, you were more like a mother to me than an aunt. I could talk to you about anything. You have three terrific sons and daughter-in-laws, along with so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who love you very much. I know my dad really misses you too...you were his big sister and helped to raise him and uncle Pete. He always thought the world of you. You cared so much about everyone. You were always calling to see how Iggy was doing and gave me so much love and support. Iggy always enjoyed talking to you. I always looked forward to going down "Aunt Dorothy''s" house when I was a kid....I still got that same feeling everytime I came to see you because you were so special to me. I enjoyed the stories and memories you shared with me regarding our family. It was so much fun when we were kids and Uncle Charlie would run the reel-to-reel movie projector on the kitchen wall showing us family movies....we would all sit on the floor to watch it. I am so sad that you have left this earth, but knowing you went to a better place eases the heartfelt pain (just a little). You''re now with Uncle Charlie and your family who left before you. I will miss you tremendously! But I know you will always be with me and I can talk to you at any time...I can count on that. I love you so, so much, Aunt Dorothy!

Mom Mom,

I dont even know where to start or what to say. You were an amazing women. We had many talks and you have been with me and there for me through so much. You were like a second mom to me. Lord knows my mom and i could get in to it and I would need someone to calm me down. I can not believe that you are gone but i am grateful that you are back with pop pop now. You have always been broken hearted since he left you and now i know you are complete again. I dont know how i am going to get through the next days without my mom and dad but i will lean on you to make me strong. I hope you and pop pop are there right now planning on how you are going to make my daddy better and send him home. He could not have any better angels other than his parents. Thank you for being an amazing grandmother and great grandmother to all of us but especially to your little dumpling. He doesnt know what to do without you. He looks for you constantly when i told him you were in heaven now he told me good cause now she can play baseball, golf and bowling. He sure did love you mom mom. I hope that you continue to watch over our family and keep us strong. I will do my best to continue to make you proud, I love you and miss you more than i ever though possible.

Love you
Jami

Although I only knew you for a short time, I loved you like my own. I will miss you. I know we have another angel watching over all of us. Just wish you could have waited 12 more days...I will make sure Aaron knows how wonderful and caring his Great Mom Mom was!!

Mom Mom:
You were truly a blessing in my life. I always looked so forward to walking in the front door knowing you''d be sitting right there telling me good morning. I cherish all the times we snuck you the forbidden treats behind Donnas back. You and I always siding together regardless of being right or wrong. What am I gonna do without you and your smile and conversations? I know you are the angel we all need. Please watch over John and Donna for me. Maybe it''s time you gave your son the kick in the butt that he needs :). I will miss you but will forever keep you close to my heart. You are an amazing woman and certainly made me proud to call you MomMom. Thank you for all the memories. Until we meet again.....hugs and kisses to all those with you now. I will always love you!
