I have known Dottie since we were children. Her late husband, Irving, was always known to me as "Sonny". He and I lived in the same neighborhood in Woonsocket until my family moved to Union Village in North Smithfield in the 1940´s. Dottie was a lovely woman and will be greatly missed. Rest in peace.
