Bette & Dollie's nieces~ I'm SO very sorry to hear of Dollie's passing. I really enjoyed her & Bette too! They made my time @ The Waterford more fun. Dollie always had a twinkle in her eye as she'd tease everyone. What a character. I shared a couple of pix from our visits, one here @ my house, & one at the Waterford. 🥰 The world's a little darker now without Dollie in it. Please keep me posted about her memorial. Sending a big hug & love to Bette.

Dear Bette.......Sending my condolences to you and Dollie's family. I worked with you for two years in 1970. The traveling time we spent together was enjoyable, which always included Dollie's humor. It has been my pleasure to have those memories. Blessed be her memory forevermore........Heather W. Meyer
