Dear Family:

My name is Janet Minnix and my mother is Jane Jason who has been close with Dotty for many many years. My heart goes out to the entire family during this difficult time. I am formerly from Cambridge and that is how my mother became friends with Dotty. I had the chance several months ago to take my mother to Stoneham to visit Dotty and we all laughed together as Dotty remembered me from many years ago. I am so happy to have known such a wonderful, kind hearted, cheerful woman. She will be in our prayers forever.

Dear Joe and Nancy,

Auntie Dot was a very special aunt and great aunt. She was a kind, loving, caring woman who will be greatly missed. She was especially blessed with a loving son and daughter inlaw and two "darling" grandchildren. She will stay alive in our memories forever.

Much love,

All the Dooleys
