Dolly made St. Henry’s Prep a home for me when I was a student and later when I returned as an Oblate on staff. I simply loved talking with her. Making her smile lit up the whole room. May God grant her eternal rest, lasting peace, dustless corridors and bed linens without wrinkles! To you, her family and friends, may find strength in your faith and happiness in her memory!
