    My deepest sympathy to the Brosnan family on the loss of Dorothy, my long term friend from another era. We were, in today,s jargon, “an item’. For the last 20 years or so, we kept in touch by phone about 4-5 times yearly. How she loved her Lydia Rose ! I have 5 grandchildren, and we often traded stories of family.

    I will miss those phone calls.

    Post-surgery problems have temporarily limited my mobility, but my thoughts and prayers are with you……..

    I just saw the obituary today – I was in Vermont for the weekend. I’m so sorry to hear of Dorothy’s passing. I worked with her for many years at the State Education Department and we kept in touch of the years. She was a wonderful person and I will miss her.
