Mrs. Pratali was a wonderful lady. She and my mother had the same name of Dorothy Elizabeth. I grew up with Jeanmarie, her daughter, and lived nearby. We were close friends at St. Paul's school. I admire Mrs. Pratali's beautiful family, and marvel at the wonderful example she set for all. Her sharp mind, beautiful face, warm and loving nature are unforgetable! Mrs. Pratali will always hold a special place in my heart.

I will truly miss spending time with my Aunt Dorothy. The last few years,I was very fortunate to have spent a lot of time with her. I will really miss her smile and her greeting "There's my little girl!" The light in the world will be dimmer now. Now God has the pleasure!

This is from Elisabeth Usry: When I was dining with my mother,Martha Moore, at" The Hermitage" I had the pleasure of sitting at the same table with Mrs. Pratali. I was saddened when I read about her death and also amazed when I read her age. I thought she was much younger. While we sat together I thought what a beautiful complexion and I am sorry I did not mention that to her. Hopefully I will meet the family some other time because I will not be in Richmond this weekend.
Sincerely, Elisabeth Usry

I am writing for my mother,Martha Moore: My mother lives at "The Hermitage" and asked me to get in touch with the family.
Martha enjoyed the company of Mrs. Pratali so much. My mother would go to her room when she first moved in and walk to meals with her. They always had fun at the table during meals. She also went to visit her in her second room and also in Health Care. My mother will miss her wonderful smile so much. Martha Moore, my mother, plans to attend the service on Sunday. Sincerely, Elisabeth Usry

Momma Dot was a special grandmother who always remembered the little things we did together.
Lindsay, Channing and Sierra were very lucky to have gotten to know and spend time with such a loving and happy great grandmother.
