So sorry to hear of Dorothy passing, she truly was like a second mother to me. Many fond memories of the Fogarty family, particularly of both "Dort & Ralph" which always brings a smile to my face. Regrettably, I can't be there for the service but will be in town later in the month and hope to see you then.
