My deepest sympathy to Gail and her family. I've known Dunkin for over 20 years, I was one of her first roommates in Florida when she moved from Pittsburgh with Roseanne, and she was a great person and will be missed by all, especially by the Steelers.

I knew Dunkin for over 20 years in WPB, and though I didn't see her and Gail near enough, my time with them was always a great time. I can see Dunkin at a Halloween party years ago, in a child's Bart Simpson costume, making me laugh. You had to love her. And I'll really miss her.

With Dunkin's knack for bringing people together, the angels are going to have a great time. And...the Steelers should have their best season yet with the help she can give from above. She will live forever in the hearts of many. After all, "The World runs on Dunkin".

Dear Family and Friends of Dunkin,
I was deeply saddened to hear the news about the sudden death of Dunkin. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Dunkin was such a quiet, funny, unpretentious and supportive person to be around. She was often a bright spot when I saw her at our neighborhood meetings. We could talk football all night as I am a Pats fan. She was the only female friend I had who knew as much about football as I do.
I know you will miss Dunkin greatly. During this difficult time, I know you will draw upon your own strength and the strength of loved ones that hold you in their thoughts. Remember her neighborhood is filled with people who care about you and are thinking about you in this difficult time of sorrow.
You have my deepest sympathy.

My prayers is with you all. May God rest Sandy in peace and guide her toward the bright light.

I remember Sandy when I was little. She was hardly around. I very well remember her beautiful white dog she kept outside in the back of the driveway. The dog name, if I remember correctly, was BB? By the way, I think I have a picture of her when she was little girl that my dad took from the picnicing so long ago! Anyway, again, may God Bless her and bless you all. Sandy is in better place.

Sincerely,

Jeanne Walker (HERMAN)
