really, she has been there on my
worst days, and let us stay with her. I would be lost without her
I love you, I miss you and Candy so much
Love Patty

Dear Patty and Family,
I miss your Mom too---in many ways, and think of you all every day. She was very special and far more than my special Patty's Mom. She loved me and I her. She embraced me when my heart was broken telling her about my mother--she knew I needed a hug and a shoulder--- that will always be in my heart. Her sweet smile and love of what was good in life are lessons I hold in my heart.
I will be there for you always----the Dolly's would love knowing we are taking care of what needs to be cared for---one another!!! They'd have nothing less.
With love, Ginny

Hi Mum,
I am thinking of you always, and how proud you would be that Dan is
going to be a senior at MC. I bet
Dad is just beaming!! I still cannot
grip that you and Candy are gone,
I miss you both so much, and think of all the things I want to tell you. and hear all the things that you would tell me. On Friday
I will go to Bourne and check on
everything. A month, and Candy it is 4 months. I wish I could give you both a hug. I am glad I got to, but miss you both so much
I love you, keep watching over us
give Dad a hug too
Love

Hi Mum,
Two weeks ago you left us, I remember being there, thinking
that you would open your eyes and
say one more time that you were
so glad to see me. Helen wrote such beautiful words to you, from her heart. She got me through so many nights, she would stay on the phone with me till I could stop crying, through Candy's hospital stay and hospice, and all the nights I drove home alone from the nursing home, she would keep me company on the phone, she is an angel, I love her so much, I keep the picture of you and her and Mary Poppins with me all the time
I love you, I miss you,
Patty

Aunt Dolly,
Joy gives us wings. I learned the virtue of Joy from you and how you lived your life. I learned to find delight in the small things, share a laugh, enjoy what you are doing right then, find something you like in everyone you meet, fall in love with something everyday, appreciate the gifts in your life, go on adventures, have fun, commit random acts of kindness, smile, sing, hope and know (really know) you are Loved by God. You are my special someone that changed my life forever, for the better. I carry you in my heart...and my heart has wings.

Love you

Eleanor & family,
So sorry to read of Dolly's passing.
Those of us who grew up in the old neighborhood are becoming fewer and fewer. I still feel like we were all part of a big family.

My sympathy to all of Dolly's family on your great loss. Dolly was my good friend and 'mentor' when I arrived at the WAC Veterans' Assn. back in 1992. I will miss her; God be good to her.

Dear Patty, Jaqulynn, Carolynn, Dan and Jim,
Dolly knew how much you loved her, she told me all the time. She was a sweet, caring mother and Grandmother and a brilliant woman with a legendary history!!! I will never forget her sweet smell, her sense of humor and her gentleness.
I am so fortunate to have gotten to know her and all of you. I will miss her deeply! "Dolly'' was a real Dolly
and she had respect for anyone that took the time to come and visit her!
My love and sympathy to Patty and your children! -Wendy

Mum,
I miss you, and love you, you set the example for us to follow, I will
always keep my promises to you and
Dad and Candy. I will see you in each morning sun, I will see you when
the night comes and the stars are in the sky. You will be watching over
us, and seeing the kids go on with their lives. You taught us how to
care and love all that we met, to raise our hands to volunteer to help,
no matter what the job was. I am thankful that God gave me you for a
mother. In the next few days, many many tears will flow. It is so hard
to say goodby. Give Candy and Dad a hug from all of us.
I miss you Mom,
Love Patty
