I am very sorry for your loss and offer prayers for Dolly. To Vickie
, Scott, Julie, and Drake, I remember that my mom and dad and your mom and dad were super friends. I remember "DOLLY" as a great loving person. The times we spent together as families with you all at the house on Guinzy Hill, Westridge court, and a condo up above Dennys are fond memories.
Mom and Dolly were such great friends that there must be a connection of Dolly passing on Dorothy´s birthday.
Have a blessed day
John

To Vicki, Scott, Julie and Drake.
Having grown up with you hanging together with Dolly in my younger years with me mother at the apartment across from the bank gives me very fond memories. Dolly and my mom seemed to be inseparable. Now they are in heaven together on my mom's birthday no less. I grieve with you and hope you find peace in this message.

May your cherished memories bring you comfort and peace now and the days ahead. She was a joy to be around when she was at The Arbors.
My father, Don, was a resident there.
Sincerely,
