To the Batemon and Graham family, Please accept our sincere condolences. Myrtle, whom we affectionately called Dolliboo, was a favorite cousin of my mom (Janie Mae). Now they both are together again laughing and reminiscing. We hope your memories of Dolliboo bring you comfort and may your heart, your soul and your spirit find peace in God's voice and in God's gentle embrace. Our prayers are with you.
