Aunt Dorothy was a great aunt. I enjoyed her seeing her smiling face! Every time she come visit i loved talking with my one of my favorite aunts. I also remember how she liked chocolates after dinner and we would give her little See's Candies!

Aunt Dorothy has always been a woman that I respected and loved. She always thought of others and had a sweet smile and "hello" whenever you saw her. I will hold special many memories that we all shared at our big Modugno gatherings...My sincere love and sympathy to her family...

Aunt Dorothy was a lady of class, humility and family. I think the entire family appreciated her more with every passing year. She was a glowing example of how you should live your life. She will be missed by many from several generations.
