Dear John and Family,
I am truly sorry and I am very saddened to hear about the loss of your wonderful wife, fantastic mother, warm and gentle grandmother and kind and caring aunt. Loved by all who met her. Dotty was one of the kindest people I have known. I will miss seeing her so much on Fridays. We became such good friends throughout the years, talked about everything. Her Christmas Dinners, my Chirstmas Dinners. How and what you (Johnny) were cooking. She had a great sense of humor and always made me laugh. I truly cared deeply for her and she will be missed very much. I feel like she was part of my family.
She is now with Our Lord, and her spritual family.
If I can be of any help in the coming days ahead pleae call me.
Love to All
