My deepest sympathy to the family on the passing of Dorothy (Dot) Wilner. Our stories and memories extend way back when, my family, the Steels moved on to the block, (approx. in 1960). Dorothy will always be a part of my fond memories of life on Sumner Avenue. The uncountable trips down to the bulkhead to check out the ocean, passing bye the Wilners, with our neighborly concerns and greetings.The view of the large house, with the huge window peering out at the Atlantic Ocean and knowing that room held a lot of special stories. Mrs. Wilner was striking,( with her hair pulled straight back, tucked in style. She was thoughtful, caring, and gracious as our friend. Times of surviving hurricanes, times of celebration, and just those everyday experiences are a part of our story to remember. Thank you Dorothy Wilner. With Gratitude and Love Connie
