Dear Schmerfeld Family,
I only met Dolly 2 years ago when I moved in next door to her, but right from the start, she made me feel welcomed in my new residence. Dolly and I had many quick but enjoyable conversations, and I am very sad for her passing.
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord, may she rest in peace. Amen
God bless all of you,
Mary Matunis
Dolly's neighbor
