Dorothea Budd "Dotsie" Walsh

"Big" Nick, Abby, Nick, and the Budd Family-

My love and thoughts are with each of you. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to know and love Dotsie. She always made me feel safe and welcome in the Walsh home and on my first trip to "the North." I admire her for many reasons, none of which can be accurately expressed in words... One of her many gifts to the world was her fortitude of strength- all done with a smile.

My Love and blessings to each of you-...

I had the pleasure of knowing Dotsy for the last 20+ years at the FDIC. We spoke often about family vacations at the Outer Banks, the beauty of Charleston and much more. Needless-to-say, we are all shocked at her passing. You have my deepest condolences.

With sympathy,and prayers, from a former class mate, and friend at The School of the Holy Child, Rosemont,PA.

To the Budd and Waslsh Families:

Sherry and I were very sad to hear of Dotsie's passing. Our prayers and best wishes go to all who knew and loved her.

Ron and Sherry Auerbach

Dear Walsh & Budd Families,

As one who has known Dotsie as a co-worker since moving to FDIC Headquarters in 1975, I offer my heartfelt condolences to you on the loss of someone very special. She will be deeply missed in our FDIC family, as well.

Nick, Abby, and Nick: Larry and I were so sorry to hear of Dotsie's death. We are still shaken and saddened these many days later and you all are in our hearts and prayers as is Dotsie. In our many years as neighbors, working on our new homes and yards, Dotsie and all of you were incredibly loving and accepting of us as your neighbors. We have enjoyed staying in touch since our move south if only by Christmas card. Again, we are so sorry for your loss and know she will be missed. John Rudder...

I have known Dotsie for many years, as kid within the FDIC growing up, and now as an adult who had the priviledge to know her as a friend and co-worker. There will not be a day she is not thought of, missed and prayed for. May she find peace and happiness. To her family, please know my prayers and thoughts are with you all at this difficult time in your life. God Bless.

I just found out today about Dotsie's death. Both James and I are shocked and saddened by such a loss! Dotsie was an incredible mother, wife and friend. We got to know Nick and Dotsie at St. James School and we have remained friends ever since. Nick, I'm so sorry we didn't know earlier. I will be in touch with you soon. My heart goes out to you, Abby and Nick. She loved you so.
