To one who started out at a co worker and soon became a dear friend , through which I also became blessed to know her daughter Gwen, and granddaughter Darlene. And to them I want to say I share your sorrow and loss but will always remember your mother/grandmother for the many fun times, and laughter we shared at work together. Best wishes to her entire family during their loss. We all share that loss with you .

What sad sorrow to say goodbye to a high school friend and classmate. We recently reconnected and it was a joy to hear her speak of her family. Truly, her legacy is love. May God's great blessings of peace and comfort be with you who are her family, friends & associates.

Dear Gwen, Tanya & Carl,
I cannot express how sorry I am at Dolly's passing;but there is some comfort in knowing that she is at peace, and no longer suffering.
Some women leave their mark on the world by the way they live and the difference they make in the lives they touch. You have lost someone very special, someone who touched many hearts.And those hearts will touch many more.
Love,
Aunt Marilyn Kavana
