    Hugh & Diane Drummond and family

    Dolly was a wonderful friend and neighbor for many years before we moved out of the neighborhood. We will always remember her humerous and fun-loving personality and the many occassions our families shared together both happy and sad. She always made herself available to give a helping hand if the need occurred. We are very saddened to hear of her passing and our hearts go out to Gig, GiGi, Lauren and Dawn and her extended family.ww.

    My love to each of the Millers and Dorans. So many years, so many laughs. My memory goes way back to 1969, at Moselys, in Dedham at my wedding reception. Sorry for the tardiness, I've just learned of Doll's passing. I'll be sure to drop by the cemetery and leave some flowers off. Cousin Francis, and Helen and Karen, daughters 4 August
