To Frank and John, I read about your Mother's passing and although I haven't seen her in some time , I think of her often. I was her hairdresser in South Philly for many years. Your Mom was so spunky and funny, I always enjoyed her stories about you boys. And always bragging about your singing accomplishments.It was hard for her to get to So. Philly, so we were not in touch lately. I'm sorry for your loss. She will be greatly missed.Layna the Hairdresser

John and Frank, Please accept my sincere thoughts of sympathy for you and your loved ones... My heart is broken... Dot was a warm and loving influence in my life... Her generous smile and sense of humor will be with us always... The lives of the children and faculty of Trinity School was so much richer because of her presence and devotion...
