Carl, Ralph, Debby, Mary Margaret, and Dolly's entire family, It was a pleasure to care for Dolly at the nursing home. I remember always thinking that if there were an award for the most caring and involved family that it would go to Dolly's family. She was very blessed to have each of you, and you have my utmost respect. So sorry for your loss, Robin Rennie RN

I have always loved and cherished my Aunt Dolly. She stands out as one of my favorite extended family members as she always showed tremendous love and respect to me when I was growing up. I now know at my personal age I'm not too many years away from seeing her in heaven for eternity. Jerry Burnside
