I remember Joe, Dorothy, from Hillsdale Avenue. Dorothy would talk and visit with my mom. Thank you, Dorothy for keeping an eye on us, for being a great neighbor and for all those memories. Peace and happiness are yours now and forever.

To the Cherek family--I am sending my love and prayers. I cherish the gift of time spent on "Cherek's Street" playing kick the can and all sorts of games during our St Peter's days.

Greg and all the Cherek family. Praying for you as you mourn the loss of your mother. May she find peace with our Heavenly Father. I can hear her laugh as I remember our days in StPeters and OLL. Sorry to miss her celebration of life as I am out of town. She will be in my daily prayers and always in my fondest memmories. May she rejoice in heaven with all of our lost friends and relatives

I just found out about Dorothy's passing. I remember when Joe, Dorothy, and their family moved across the street from on Hillsdale Avenue. Dorothy was always kind to us. I remember Dorothy always visiting with my mom in the evenings just about the time us kids were due in on a summer evening. I hope that Dorothy's family and friends can find peace knowing she has returned Home, and is in a state of never ending happiness. She is having a wonderful reunion now with Joe, her parents, her extended family and friends. Thank you for being so good to us. Thank you too for those wonderful memories.
