DOLLY WAS ONE OF MY GIRLFRIENDS 1945-1949 IN THE SUMMERS At GRAND BEACH, MICHIGAN. SHE ACCOMPANIED ME TO A DANCE AT MORGAN PARK MILITARY ACADEMY IN 1949. SHE WAS AMOUNG THE SWEETEST, PUREST, AND PRETTIEST YOUNG LADIES OF MY TIME. WE PARTED IN 1949 NOT TO SEE OR HEAR FROM EACH OTHER SINCE. SHE WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE CORNER OF MY HEART. HEAVEN COMES A LITTLE CLOSER NOW. DOLLY, I LOVE YOU. JIM

To say Dolly was one of our favorite people on Earth is no exaggeration. Her love of life and family and friends was an example for all. Dolly understood the downtrodden and always was so kind. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, cousin and friend. She was one of our very , very dearest cousins. Bob and Lottie and family, this is a huge loss for you. We will pray that God will guide and bless you in the coming days and years. Heaven is a better place now that Dolly is there. We will miss her so much. Dolly, thank you for our talks and your understanding when I had my panic attacks. Your kindness will never be forgotten. May God hold you in the palm of His hand until we meet again. Love, Mary Lu & Ted
