You don't know me, but I volunteer at Maryhaven. For the past few months I have been bringing Holy Communion to patients who are room bound on Tuesday mornings. This is how I met Dotty. When I arrived this morning and checked our list I was saddened to see that she had died. I just wanted to extend my sympathy to her family. She was such a cute lady and I will miss her. Last Tuesday she was sitting up in a chair in her cute nightie and after receiving communion chatted a bit with us as the Hospice nurse changed her bed. Please know she is in our prayers.

Sincerely,

Barbara Ringley from

St. Philip the Apostle, Northfield
