I am sorry to inform you all that Dorothy Marx (Hillman, Flynn) has just passed away. Her daughters, Laurie, Christine, and Erin have asked me to let you know that the wake will be at Schuyler Hill Funeral Home, 3535 E Tremont Ave, 718.792.0270, tomorrow, Friday April 10, from 2 to 5 in the afternoon, and from 7 to 9 in the evening. No funeral mass is currently scheduled, but there will be a graveside service on Saturday morning at St Raymond's cemetery. That is all the information I currently have.
I knew Dorothy from the time I was a little boy. She was always kind and friendly to me. Even though she and my brother, Richie, divorced long ago, I never stopped thinking of her as my sister in law, and loved her like a sister. One thing I found amazing and admirable about Dorothy was that, even though the loss of their son, Michael, remained an ever present sorrow for her, she was always so ready to laugh. I don't know that I could have done that. I shall miss her.
Tom Hillman
