RIP DOT AND PRAYERS FROM MARIE AND ME.
To the Family of Dorothy, We will keep you all in our prayers, and cherish the memories of Dorothy. When I was growing up in Weirton and use to go over to Aunt Ann and Uncle George’s to watch TV on Saturdays (before we had a TV). She was one of the older cousins, even older than her Uncle Bill . Love and Prayers to you all.
God Bless and may you rest in peace. Love you, Grandma.
I worked with Dorothy years ago at the City when I got out of high school. She was a great cook and I still make her beau monde dip and some of the other recipes she gave to me. May she rest in peace.
My mom, Dorothy (Klash) Lewis Perconti was by my side my entire life. The most important thing in the world to her was family. She will be dearly missed by her children, grandchildren, sisters and extended family. Thank you to all of her friends, she loved you, too. She now has Eternal Rest
