I fondly remember Dorothy (and Tom) from "North Side" family gatherings; they were such a fun couple. It's been a long time since we heard from her...I hope that she was lucid and comfortable during her final years. I regret that I could not pay respects in person; may God comfort all of you.

We were very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was a very nice person. In the past, she would always have a smile on her face, sitting in the pew with Donna and other family members at Mass at St. Elizabeth Seton. We know you will miss her. We've known each other for a very long time, and this truly saddens us. We will pray for all of you. With sympathy, Rick and Debbie Partyka (Payonk) and Family
