God blessed the community of St Joan of Arc Church with a very special individual whom I had a lot of respect for! I have many memories of her especially during my childhood years when I was an altar boy. She had a gentle spirit and a welcoming smile always. In my eyes she belonged to a special group of elders who became the pillars and the foundation of the church even through all the changes. I respected her a great deal! Each time I saw her at mass I would make it a point to say hello. God Bless you and your family! Thanks for being part of my life! The Centineo family will miss you dearly!

Dear Dottie, My memories of you and your family go way back to my childhood. Coming to your house and playing with the boys, seeing Big John's Christmas display and trains and just loved when we came over. I remember one Christmas watching you bake those fabulous cookies of yours and still could not figure out how you got them so thin and never burnt. All so perfect. Your tin of Christmas cookies was a highlight in the Foley house. Even when I moved away and came home for Christmas I would get a tin of my own. You were much loved and you will be missed. Look down kindly upon us and keep us in your prayer. We know you are in heaven for that is the only place for someone like you so dedicated to God and the church and such a thoughtful and loving woman. We shall meet again one day. Your husband John I am sure met you at the gates. I wish you would have met my husband Peter and he you for you would have loved each other. Thank you for your thoughts and caring throughout the years. Those who knew you were blessed by having met you. Love, Michele and Peter
