You left us six long years ago who truly truly miss you. When I was younger it was the highlight of the day when we got to come to your house and everybody got together and we had dinner and played cards and talked it was the best family that you could ever have. When you and my mom and Aunt Millie's sometimes and Grandma and the beginning when I first moved here was the absolute best it helped immensely from me being homesick and I know you guys love to come here because we had so much to do with you. We took trips into Philly we played cards here to we had dinners I just enjoyed each other so much it's awful that you're not here anymore all of you it's sad and we do miss you oh. And we love you

Ruth, Millie, Dory & Lois together again.

My Aunt Dory was the best, she was a wonderful, wife, she loved her children and her sisters and brothers and all their family. Everyone was invited to their house all the time they almost had an open house all the time but definitely on Sundays whom ever could come they would welcome you with open arms. There was always dinner for who ever wanted it and then entertainment (cards) once dinner was cleaned up.
We were a pretty rowdy bunch and I think my Grandmother was the ring leader. We had many, many years of their hospitality. Memories I will never forget growing up there. She was definitely one of the most loving and loved woman I knew. We will and do miss her.
