Dolly is never forgotten! Our lives are full of her memories.

We will never forget Dolly!!! She and Virgil are with us every day and Chris and I take great pleasure in our remembrances!!

Dolly is missed every day. This year we just returned from a trip to Italy to meet the Craperi side of the family and remember Virgil and Dolly´s incredible heritage. They will never be forgotten! We shared pictures and stories with a huge family in Italy. RIP Dolly.
