Our mother was a very beautiful women and you could never talk about her without discussing her beauty. Hence, she received the name "Dolly" at a very early age. At 40 (pictured above) our mother's beauty was as radiant as ever. Many could not look at Dolly, our mother, without being captivated by her beauty. Hundreds over the years said to her sons and others that she is "the most beautiful woman they have ever seen." They were right.

Per Isabel's "Dolly's" request there will be no calling hours.
