To Dorothy's family...So sorry your mother/grandmother/great grandmother has passed away. I visited her a few months ago at the Center, and she was still the same happy-go-lucky person she always was when I knew her! Always laughing and having a good, fun time. She made friends with everyone. Carmela (her Foran Towers neighbor/friend), my family and I extend our deepest condolences. My mother, Carmela, missed her when she entered the Milford Health Care Center. May Dorothy rest in peace now.
