"Sending thoughts and prayers to you all in this time of sorrow. I remember Aunt Dolly from the family reunions we use to have. Rest in Peace, Aunt Dolly!"
"Aunt Dolly was a fun person to be around. She loved life, and loved to joke with us when we went to see her. we are going to miss her, but we have some great memories of her. Our love and thoughts and prayers goes out to her family."
"Dolly was always so sweet and kind when I had contact with her during my 10 years as secretary at ORLC. I always enjoyed talking with her. I don\'t go out much with all this Covid stuff, so I may not attend her funeral, but know that I will be thinking of and praying for all of you. May God and the support of family and friends help you through this difficult time, and rest assured that she is with heavenly father. Evelyn McDowell"
