Leonard and family,

My condolences are extended to you in the passing of your beloved wife and family member. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dollie certainly left her mark on Scotland Neck with all the good work she did and her devotion to the town. I always enjoyed the times I would write something for the local newspaper for a project Dollie was involved in for the town. She was a very special person.eo
