My little sister Dolly, I will not say goodbye. Even tho u have been taken away from us and now in a better place. Your laugh,spirit, and sense of humor will always have a connection to us. So our relationship continues. Dolly had a ravenous hunger for life. In her last few weeks she had no quality of life and for a person that loved to party, sing, dance, laugh and make people around her feel good, her life as it was took a heavy toll on her spirit.

Even tho her spirit gave in her last few weeks, we'll always remember her as a good person.

We will miss her.

Her loving brother Raymond and Sister-In-Law Felice
