My deepest condolences to the Padalino Family. I first met Dorothy at a Galvan Family party many years ago. We subsequently spent many more wonderful and laugh filled hours together in the Galvan's backyard for 4th of July and other celebrations. Dorothy's unique knack of making me laugh so hard is imbedded in my memory for all time. She was a great kidder and loved being in on a joke. She was kind, empathetic, and supportive friend. Dorothy was extremely proud of her family, who she loved so much. I will never forget her. God Bless You at this difficult time.

Many years ago I worked at Holy Cross Hospital and had the pleasure of meeting your mother. Even after all these years I still remember what a special, wonderful, funny, unique person she was. It was an honor knowing her. I enjoyed her wit so much, and have never forgotten her because of it.
So sorry for your great loss.
