I still have some of the Artist Trading Cards Ditty made. Just the other day I looked at my album and there she was! Never forgotten. RIP, dear friend.

Ditty is still missed and spoken of with fondness in the rubber stamping/cardmaking group where we met.

Ditty and I met in the group for ME/CFS patients she organized at Hamilton Hospital in Hamilton, NJ, so long ago I can't remember the date. We both had it - and she made my life so much easier all these years as a fellow patient, and a nurse who understood 'the system.' My deepest sympathy to Don, and gratitude for years of friendship.

Ditty and I never met in person, but we exchanged email and cards for many years. She was so talented and so creative! Even when she could no longer make cards, she still sent them, writing a note in each one - notes that I cherished because the work it took for her to write was so evident. With deepest sympathy to Don and all who were lucky enough to know Ditty in person.

Can't believe you're gone my dear friend. So many memories over the years. From high school up till now our friendship never ended. I will miss you Ditty and will look forward to the day when we will be young again, ageless and happy in our true home in Heaven. God bless you.... I'll always love you, and keep you and Don in my prayers... your friend, Becky Nerlino Capitano

We began our childhood living across the street from each other on Maine Avenue, Staten Island, going through school together right up to high school. Sweet memories of going horsebackriding at Moore's Stables in Clove Lakes, playing red light/green light and softball in the summers. Rest in Peace, dear friend, Ditty. Pam Carlson McKinley
