Even though I never met Dolly, I feel I like I already knew her through my Aunt Rhonda. My daughter & I were looking forward to meeting Dolly when we come down to SC over Christmas break. Dolly, my prayers have been with you throughout your illness! May you enjoy peace with God!! With Christian Sympathy and Love, Amy

My Dearest Friend, I know that you are in the GREATEST PLACE...you are probably already with your Mom, Dad, Peter & your grandparents. You may even have already met my Aunt Helen again, my Grandpa Beal, Grandma Beal, Grandmother Penny, Carol, Chuck, Serena, Buffy, Ziggy, even "Bubba" who recently left earth & all of the rest of the people/animals I've lost in my life! Your death is sooo difficult to deal with at this moment in time! I may be selfish, but I just was NOT ready to let you go & I especially did NOT expect you to go as fast as you did!!!! I feel like I'm all alone without you!! Who will I be going to the "GW Boutique", water aerobics, chat with more than twice/day, share all of my feelings, secrets, etc.?? I MISS YOU SOOOO BADLY!! I love you forever from the time we met til infinity! With lots of love, hugs and many blessings, Rhonda

PS: Please tell all I said "Hi!" and that I'm doing the best as I can do under these circumstances! PSS: Enjoy all of the riches, peace, tranquility & everything there is to offer...I only wish there was a computer there...even though you are engaging in more enjoyable riches, I wish you could e-mail me & let me know how all is!!

I met Dollie while she was working with my sister in Sandpiper. I was grateful that she was there for Therese, as she was caring and competant in the work. We always had meaningful conversations, Dollie was open hearted and easy to talk to. I send my prayers of comfort to all friends and family, and for Dollie, assured that she rests gently in the arms of the angels. Blessings to all, Isis Dudek

I knew Dolly for less than a year, but felt as if I had known her a lifetime. She cared for my disabled sister at Sandpiper nursing home and she was truly an angel from heaven. She was beloved by all of the staff and other patients there as she somehow seemed to know everyone. I found myself going early and staying late when visiting my sister just to enjoy her company and I observed how she had a kind word for everyone. She will be truely missed.
