What a wonderful and great person you are Dorothy! I am sure God has prepared a very special place in Heaven for you. You have been for us all such a model of a true well rounded Christian. Putting God always ahead of everything in your life. An active "doer", not a talker, a true friend in any circumstances, always ready to help. Having a tremendous sens of humor and a funny story to tell, to make us laugh! A real artist in the thousands of table/decor displays you made for the various church activities, a wonderful family person caring for each and all your children, grand children and great grand children and extended family you were so proud of! We love you, Dorothy,and will always do! What a great honor to have known you and have you as our friend! We are missing you terribly. You were part of our family life.
Now enjoy a well deserved Happiness and peace close to God, and all your loved ones who preceded you. Bless us from Heaven and help us to follow you in your tracks and live a true Christian life. Bernadette, Chantal and Dominique! and the Monacelli family

I grew up on the next block from the Pasqual's. She was the nicest lady always wanted to know how I was and what I was doing. My Mom and her were quite the pair. Dot would stop and chat on her way somewhere no doubt and that would turn into an hour. To the entire Pasqaul family from mine our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sending our love to all of Dorothy's big family! What a wonderful woman -- she was so inspirational! I always thought of the Little Engine that Could when I saw Dorothy. Reading these beautiful notes, I see she touched a lot of lives for the better! Our love to all of you who will be missing this sweet, sweet lady! We are so sorry that we couldn't make it to the services to say good-bye to Dorothy and to support you all. Know that we are here if you need us.
.....
The tide recedes,
yet leaves behind bright seashells on the sand;
The sun goes down,
yet gentle warmth still lingers on the land;
The music stops,
yet echos on in sweet refrain;
For every joy that passes
something beautiful remains.

I only knew Dorothy because I greatly enjoyed the sales she ran at the Church. I have been attending them for years. I truly admired her dedication and skill at presenting hundreds of items at every sale, and clearing up afterwards. She had help of course, but without her, those sales wouldn't have happened. I loved talking with her, too. She was a wonderful human being and will be greatly missed by everyone who ever met her. Please accept my condolences to her family and friends. I always looked forward to seeing her, will miss her lovely smile and spirit, and think of her every time I pass St. Catherine's.

Dear Pasqual Family,
How do we start?? So sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Our first meeting with her was in her basement holding a Jack Hammer getting rid of concrete so she could expand the basement. We were amazed at this little lady who could handle such big jobs. Also want to thank the family for all our cherished memories with the family over the years. Amazing what a job she did raising 11 children!! She should get a gold star. We know she has definitely earned her reward to Heaven. May the Lord give you each, comfort, love, strength, guidance and whatever you need to get through the difficult days ahead. RIP Dorothy!! You left an amazing and wonderful impression on those who knew and loved you. Love in Christ, Sharon & Jim Hudson

Our sincerest condolences on the loss of your mother. She was such a wonderful and pleasant woman. It was never too much for her to stop and take a minute to converse with you. She will be truly missed.

What a loss to all of us. I so enjoyed the times we spent together preparing for this, or that for St.Catherine's bazaars and the rummage sales. She had a wonderful personality and would be up from dawn till dark, working on the flower beds or inside the church "fixing" something. God bless all.

What a wonderful God-filled person! It was a privilege to have known her. Her "can do" personality inspired everyone, including me! I was happy to have served as Treasurer when she was President of the Sodality. Such a sweetheart...always laughing, always cheerful. She worked very hard while on this earth and is now at peace with Jesus and Mary whom she loved. She will be missed. My sincere condolences to her family.
