Dolly
 I am so grateful you are no longer suffering and I know you are in Heaven with our Lord.  

I,  your niece Carol, have so many cherished memories of you from when I was a little girl all thru my entire life.  I remember as a kid all of us getting together on the weekends at either your  house, Aunt Dorothy's, or my parents house.  I remember all of us going roller skating at the roller rinks and your brother, who was my  Dad,  would teach us  tricks on our skates.  My favorite time was when all of us use to go to Braddock Heights. I always enjoyed our talks on your front porch.  You were always happy and couldnt do enough for all the kids. 
Oh how you loved babies...I can still see how you and Pat would go to yard sales every Saturday and collect all those  "Golden Year" books for your little ones so you could read  stories to them.  And goodness, when Videos came out you would record every kids show for the children.  What a collection you accumulated.  You were always so kind and generous to everyone. My favorite memory of you was how you loved your flowers.  I see those beautiful geraniums whenever I think of you.  And I remember all the kids in the family would get cardboard from Uncle Russ so they could slide down the hill on your front lawn....Oh how nervous that made Dolly, fearing one of her babies would get hurt. Then there was the day I had Brittany and came to you  crying and begging you to take care of my baby when I had to go back to work cause I didnt want her in daycare.  I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for your love, care, and kindness you gave my child over those years. You became the grandmother Brittany never had and you left her with so many cherished memories.  Most of all I will never forget how you stood by my side when I lost my Dad.  You took a piece of my heart wiith you but I know you are watching over all of us from Heaven above.
There will never be another "Dolly".  You were and always will be my favorite Aunt.
