Ricky,

I am sorry about your mom, I was just going thru something and I saw her name. I never met her I only spoke with her on the phone and she seemed liked a wonderful woman and mother. She did a great job brining you up.

I do think about you from time to time I would love to keep in touch.

Rick,Bunny and Francine
I am so sorry to hear about Dolly.
She was such a good friend to my mom and my whole family (you all were). I remember all the birthday parties and holidays we spent together way back when. St Pat's day especially. Great memories!
Dolly was a very outgoing person, full of life, full of fun.
I can just picture her now gabbing with my mom and catching up on the last 25 years. I hope they're having a wonderful time.
Again, I am so sorry.
You are in my prayers.
God Bless!

Jenness Family- I am saddened to hear of the loss of Dolly whom I always saw on my "block" (W Bway D-E Streets) and didn't remember who she was until her dog Princess was mentioned. I was sad to realize that it's been a few years since I've seen my neighbor. I guess since Princess went to the Rainbow Bridge (a place where pets go to wait for us after they pass on) she didn't come out as often. Please accept my sympathy on your loss. My block won't be the same without her there.
