Fitzie - a one of a kind "Aunt Dot" who taught me the many wonders of gardening, gave me my first job pulling Japanese beetles off of her treasured rose bushes at the beach for a penny a piece, and graciously explained the difference between a weed and a perennial after I pulled all the wrong ones! A true gem of a woman in every way possible, Aunt Dot exemplified gentle and generous kindness to all who crossed her path, even those who didn't - whether they had two, four or many more legs (except those Japanese beetles of course! I suppose she could have drowned them in Dewars rather than kerosene?) Her warm, welcoming smile and unique little chuckle are trademarks that will live on forever and is most certainly brightening the heavens above for endless "Happy Days". A gigantic "Tah Dah!" to you, Fitzie, for showing us how to truly enjoy life! Keep the party going up there...I'll switch the beetles to Dewars here. To Dorrie, Suey, Debbie, spouses, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, may she live on in your hearts and visit you often with warm-fuzzy memories! XOXOX "Lisa Lee"
