Having just learned of the news of Mrs. Dolan's passing, I am hoping this note will be seen by the Dolan family members. Having known E. Vincent Dolan III ("Vince") since I was a 13-year-old student at St. John's Preparatory School, Vince has been one of my best and most cherished friends. My friendship with Vince allowed me the honor and pleasure of knowing and spending many happy times with his Mom, Nancy Dolan. Mrs. Dolan always cared for and treated me as if I was a member of the Dolan family. She invited me to many Dolan family dinners, Thanksgivings, and family celebrations, and I spent many happy hours and occasions visiting with the entire Dolan family over many years. My deep sympathies and condolences go out to Vince, Molly, Sarah, Mr. Dolan and the extended Dolan family. Mrs. Dolan was an outstanding, warm, cheerful and caring person, and a dear and cherished friend. I will remember her forever. Maximillian T. Shemesh (Eagan, MN)

Sarah -

I am so sorry for your loss. I think I may have met your mother once at Vis, but knowing you, tells me all I need to know about the kind of woman she must have been. I know that there are no words that can possibly comfort you and your family, but please know that I will remember her and you in my prayers.

May angels lead her into paradise.
