I consider myself blessed to have known and been loved by both Sue and Joe, She was SO SCRICT and yet still SO MUCH FUN. While she was a wonderful cook, seamstress and gardener, she was best at raising girls. I will always cherish my memories with her family; at their Toledo camp, playing on the porch, sleep-overs and Christmas time at the Dolan's. Mrs Dolan, I will remember you always with love!
