I last saw and spoke with Dolly at Carol Jean's funeral and she was still so full of her usual spunk. I have great memories of her and Dolores and their banter when I visited my dear neighbor friend, Dolores! Even in her old age she contributed much to the family, I could see! Blessings and condolences to all the family.

Dolly was a character and a lot of fun! All of my children have such fond memories of her. She was a wonderful example of living life to the fullest and doing it her way right to the end. Blessings to all of you!

So many wonderful memories through the years! I will very much miss my Aunt Dolly. She was one of those incredibly fun and funny relatives that constantly entertained with her colorful wit and humor and direct advice. I often called her my therapist...she had great insight and keen perception on many matters. I loved how she spoke her mind and never held back. Dolly will be in my memories and heart forever. Love, MeeJo
