Dear John, Robert, Leo, Peter and Michael and families,
Your Mom was a force of nature! I will always remember her laughter and joy at Lebel's Grove and at other family gatherings. She was the last of that great group emanating from Byron Street. Weren't we all lucky to have the parents we had. She loved you guys with all her heart and would want you to get on with living and happiness for the rest of your days.
Due to the unholy trio of cancer, chemo and Covid, I regret that I am unable to attend the services, but know that I am with you in spirit. May She Rest in Eternal Peace.
- Eddie

Auntie Dot was one of a kind!
We always looked forward to Auntie Dot and Uncle Carmine visiting in CT.
She was full of fun, said what was on her mind and knew how to make you feel special! She always treated our son like he was one of her own ! We were always welcome on Byron St. spending many overnights there eating and laughing and enjoying a big wonderful family! Auntie Dot, thank you for wonderful memories and all of your love! Betsy and John CT
