To the Renaud family,
My deepest condolences to your family. Dolly is now up in heaven with my mom and dad. Your mom was such a great lady. I remember having many conversations with her when she would call my mom and dad. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To the family of dear Ida (our very favorite baseball cheese lady)! My sympathy to all of you - she loved you so much. She told me wonderful stories - about all of you, the zoo, her sweet little dog, the Cubs! I loved our phone conversations. I wasn't able to meet her in person. I haven't been able to communicate with her for a few years, but she never left my thoughts. The Cubs have a special new angel! My sympathy to you.

I can´t express how sad I was when I learned of Dolly´s passing. I remember some fantastic memories of her from when I was young. My Mother, Jeannine Morey would tell me stories about the "Clearing Girls" & they sure had fun. I hope you´re coping and send my sincerest sympathy for your loss.

My family and I adored Auntie Dolly. She was always around when I was growing up. Always happy -- always excited to talk about the Cubs, the animals at Brookfield Zoo where she volunteered, any dogs she had at the time.
I'm so happy that my children also got to have her in their lives. One of our favorite times with her was on a family cruise she joined us on. She was such a ray of sunshine and our lives are better for having her in them. We loved and will miss her very much.
