So many good memories of Dolly as a young mother. I babysat for Carol and Nancy when Nancy was a newborn. I was 16. Dolly and I spent many happy times together. My dad, Rich Reilly, bowled on a league for years with Ray Cooley as their sponsor. Jewel and Ruth lived downstairs so I knew them well also. May Dolly be warmly welcomed into heaven.
