Dolly and Cass were great neighbors across the road from us on Ward Hill Rd. in Henrietta! We were neighbors from 1987-2012 and Dolly was so nice to our children. After we moved out of state in 2012, we always visited Dolly on return visits to the Rochester area. We hold many fond memories of the Terzos.

It comes with great sadness that I find my dear friend Dolly´s obituary on line today . We spent many days together for several years saying the Rosary at Woodcrest and she inspired me to further spread the Devotion of the Rosary to several other nursing communities
When Dolly turned 90 I visited her home for "tea" but we spent so much time talking we never got around to having any ! Dolly shared many interesting stories of her life and was so proud of the beautiful home and family she and her husband created
My love and prayers go out to all of you _ family and friends who knew Dolly much longer than I did but know that she has a very special place in my heart as well
