Dear Tom and Family I am so sorry that we missed the funeral and hearing of Dolly's death. We were in Italy until November 2. I have so wanted to call you so many times but was afraid to hear the truth. I can't believe my Mom and Dolly are both gone. We will try to stop and see you at the shore. All our sympathy .
