  1. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Dorothy Taaffe.

  2. Dear Judy, Rick and Family, We extend our sympathies at this time in the loss of your Mother, Judy, and Mother-in-Law, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother and friend to many. It was perfect that she could enjoy such a long life with her husband and to know all of you. She – and you – were truly blessed.

    Our prayers and love are with you as you say your goodbyes to a very special person. May God’s love surround you.

    Love, Mary Kay, Michael and Bill

  3. Nonny was a loving, fun, and generous grandma who enjoyed spoiling her grandkids with ding-dongs, sugary cereals, toys, and of course, lots of love and attention. We will miss her greatly, but the memories we have will keep us smiling. Thinking of Nonny and Papa together again warms our hearts and brings us peace. We love you, Nonny! xoxoxo Lisa, Ryan and Owen
