Throughout our lives you have always been spoken of with love and admiration and held in the highest regard by my Mother, Andrea, as well as Aunt Sherry and Fernmary and Uncle Ricky and Dennis. My thanks to you Dorothy for being a loving stepmother to them from the time they were young, and giving them fond memories to reminisce on. I know they will all miss your presence and conversations. Although you and I only spoke and wrote on a few occasions, when I was far younger, my memory of you...

Dorothy was my stepmother for ovér 50 years. I lived with her & my father in Jersey City & in Carteret. I would love to be able to spend, just once more, a Sunday dinner with my father, Dorothy, Babe & Carol & Nan & Pauline at the table. Dorothy is a beautiful woman & her middle name of Grace is so appropriate as she possessed that quality. She was so witty with the best laugh. In the past few years, we would only speak every couple months on the weekends & our conversations were never less...

I meet sweet Dorothy 10 years ago when I joined the SRPFA Squad. She was already the Sergeant; reporting on all Squad daily calls and doing a very detailed job. She was an EMT during all the years and I believe her service was quite lengthy as she only retired a couple of years ago. I also saw her at Church..every Sunday..right up in the front row!! I was very surprised and very sad to hear of her death. Please accept my deepest condolences and sincere sympathy. She was a very lovely lady.
