My parents (Howard & Juanita Barrett) of Fort Myers, Florida, were good frends of Joe and Dolly -- I have shared some good times in my parents' home for birthdays and friends' get-togethers with the Kitchens and remember both Joe and Dolly fondly. I send my condolences to you as I recognize Dolly's passing -- she had such a happy spirit and I am privileged to have known her.
