I remember with great fondness working with Dolly at the Holly Show at the Church of the Epiphany in Euclid. She always helped Mom and I in the dining room. She will be missed by all who knew her. RIP. Nancy (Sheppard) Geiger

Dear Fran and Family...Prayers and sympathy at this difficult time but knowing Dolly is now at peace is comforting. My Dad had Parkinson's for 25 years, and still no cure! I remember Dolly well from Epiphany and Shilander's will help with future research. God Bless...Polly

Dear Dolly's Family:
I know how much you'll miss her because that's exactly how much I'll miss her. I'm so glad I got to speak w/her recently. She sounded good and was excited to move to her new apartment. I don't know if she ever made it there but I know she's in Heaven w/the Lord and the love of her life, Val. They will be together for all eternity now. She is released from the constraints of her failing body. I feel so fortunate to have had her in my life for as long as I did. I have been blessed with such wonderful memories of our time together. She was like a mother to me and I'll grieve her loss just as I grieved the loss of my biological mother, but I will also be happy that she is no longer in any pain.
My deepest sympathy,
Larain Lisiewski
