    I had the great pleasure of becoming Dolly's cleaning lady for over the past year. Dolly was the kind of gal who busied herself right along with me when I came. She would be dusting and wiping things down as I was tackling mopping floors and vacuuming and such. She was the one who reminded me of how wonderful newspaper works on mirrors and windows, something I had learned from my own mother years ago. (Thank you Dolly.) We hit it off well and I looked forward to coming to her apartment each month. She was spunky and humorous and always, always helpful to me. She made my work enjoyable and rewarding. I will miss her smile, our conversations and listening to her talk to Rosie. I only knew Dolly for a very short time but I will treasure knowing her. Rest well dear lady. Love, Karen

    Another Angel taken so soon. So remember the wonderful memories of her at the neighborhood block parties my mother used to host for many years. Those were such great times. My sincere condolences to her (3) girls. Cooper Family

    As residents of Harborside Commons, my grandson and I extend out deepest sympathy for your loss. I had never met Dolly, sadly, but Matthew had spoken with her in the parking garage where our cars are next to each other. I hope the happy memories of this very special family member sustain you at this sad time.

    Honorine, Keri, Justine and Shanny, my heart breaks for all of you. Dolly loved her girls more than life itself, she was not only their Mother, but she was their best friend. She was always smiling and loving of her family and her loss surely will be with you forever. I am still in shock over her passing. When Brenda called me with the news I just went numb thinking about Dolly being gone. I wish I had words of comfort for all of you but words fail me right now. Just know she was a beautiful person, loving, caring and happy all the time. My wish for all of you is peace in the future; however, I know your lives will never be the same. I am heartbroken.
