To all of the Dolans, We are so sorry for your loss. Joni was just a ray of sunshine. We’re sorry it has been so long since we’ve seen her. She was always the life of the party. There are so many memories of seeing her at family gatherings having so much fun. She definitely knew how to have a good time! All of you must have such wonderful memories. We know those memories will be the joy that helps you through the difficult days ahead.You are all in our prayers. Love, Gary & KathieHillBeck

Aunt Joni’s big smile…and even bigger laugh…is what I’ll always remember. What a joy it was to be in her company.

Uncle Jimmy, Carol, Linda, Jim, Judy and all of yours — I know you have many, many wonderful memories that I hope bring you comfort until you’re together again.

To all the Dolan Family – I was at Crickie’s last night for a good Irish ham and cabbage St. Patrick’s Day meal, and our toast was to Joni. We talked about how she brought fun wherever she went, and how her laugh was could always be heard above the party noise. We were remembering the old Ocean City days. I know that you would have given her a great send off, and we wish we’d been there, but know that we were thinking of you. You have so many good times and laughs – I hope that though this is a sad time, it is those memories that sustain you now and in the future. Lots of Love, Rita

Jimmy and Family,

What wonderful memories we all have of Joni. She made any event a hoot. These memories will always bring smiles filled with love for such a great gal.

Love,

Janie Hill

Dear Jim and cousins, The last time Lorri and I saw Joni was at Nick’s funeral. The second she saw me she started in recalling all of the great old times we had when I was just a kid. The Dooley girls were by far our favorite baby sitters. Joni used to let us get away with murder. Some of the excursions that Kitsy, Mary and Joni took us for on the Ocean City boardwalk were so memorable and fun, I can remember them as if they were yesterday. I can remember them letting us ride down the big ramp at 12th Street by ourselves in a wagon. They must have been crazy to allow that and that is why we loved them so much. I also had a stint as a babysitter for Jim and Joni minding you kids. I think one night they paid me 15 or 20 dollars and that was BIG money back in those days. I have nothing but happy memories of Joni and I was remembering her yesterday at the time of the service. The larger Robb family is again diminished by the loss of another cousin from her generation. I am having dinner tonight with Uncle Tom Love to go over some pictures which belonged to Aunt Kathleen Love. I am sure that Joni will come up in conversation and we will make sure to drink a toast to her memory. Please add my email address to all of your lists so that we can keep in touch. My sister Jane and I are still wotking on the Family History project and have made tremendous breakthroughs in the past year. I know Joni took great pride in who she was and where she came from. Jane and I would be happy to share with you what we have. I know you Mom and Grandmom would want that. Please accept our condolences and know that we will keep Joni in our prayers and memories. Remember that the best way to keep anyone alive is to talk about them with laughter, love and affection. Love to you all, Frank and Lorri Hill
