Dear Arthur, David, Stephen & Bruce,
I loved mom & dad, as I hope you all know. The whole family was and still is, in my heart, we were family growing up. I hope that my mom and dad and yours will finally be together again over coffee and maybe there is a big Maj Johng game for Millie & Dottie up there.
My sincere condolences.
Love
Arlene

Dear David and family,
When I heard that your mother had died, I knew that if my mom, Dorothy Schrank, were alive, she would want to reach out to you. She felt a real love and devotion to your mother, and they had a lot of good times together during their time at Lasell. (They even delighted in the fact that they were married on the same day.) When my mom began to fail, Dottie, despite her own health problems, was one of the kindest and most caring of her Lasell friends. So I'm thinking of you today, as I know my mother would be.

To Dottie's Family,

My mom was great friends with your lovely mom when they both lived in the Village. They have both been in LH for so many years and have been dealing with their individual health issues. Dottie was a strong lady with a wonderful will to live. Dottie was also so gracious whenever I saw her and so kind to my mom and family. We will remember her fondly and share in your sadness and loss.
