Dolly was my first babysitter and I just loved her. She lived across the street from me on 19th Street in Holland. I was also especially close to her mom and spent lots of time at the VandenBerg home. I think she was about 13 when she took care of me and I remember being dazzled by how pretty she was. Please give my regards to Garry, Alan and Tom. I was so sad to hear of her passing.
