Dear Debbie & Billy,
Words can't express how sorry I am
at your Mom's passing. She was a
wonderful neighbor and friend. I know
the entire neighborhood will miss her.
I am sorry I was not able to attend
calling hours and her funeral. I never
would have missed them had I not been sick with the flu.
Again, my deepest sympathy to you
both and all her family. Sincerely,
Rita Colavita=Hemond

Dear Debbie and Billy, my heart goes out to you at this very sad time. Your Mother was the most wonderful person, a caring and loving friend and neighbor, a devoted Mother and grandmother. Dotty was such a fighter, never complaining, she fought a long hard battle, wanting to be around for you and her grandchildren, who brought such comfort and joy, and so many smiles to her face. I am so happy I had the opportunity to visit with with her last summer, we had a lot of laughs together with our other friends and neighbors Lorraine and Maureen, we all shared so many fond memories over the years as friends and neighbors. I loved her and will miss her, Lee
