Ms. Dorothy was always nice to me. I like those nice people who are nice when nice people tell me they are not nice. Thank You, Dot for treating me so kind when I came home broken from my experiences in Colorado. After 25 years as my sister-in-law, our family ties vanished. Yet, Patrick, Lori, Joseph, Stephen and Andrew can surely confirm that you were a sincere and loving mother. On this New Years Day and Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, I offer my prayers and petitions for Ms. Dorothy and her family that she leaves behind. Not only for her children, but her brothers and sisters I knew as neighbors across the Avenue. She will be missed but resting in peace. God Bless the Levesque family and all.

My deepest condolences to the Levesque and Lessard family. I remember when they moved into their home on Dane St.

I remember going with my Gram (Aunt Eva) and my mother (Eleanor) to visit with all of you. I have many fond memories of Dorothy from years ago. "Father God, we come before You with broken hearts. In this darkest valley, we seek Your peace and comfort." I only wish I could attend and pay my respects. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. Dot treasured and was fiercly proud of every member of her family. She was my friend for 30 years. We shared a love of books, learning, laughter, and the seacoast. I will miss her every day.
