To Ann and Family, I am so sorry to see that Dorothy passed. She was truly a sweet woman and she loved her family so much. It won't be the same this year as the women make the wands and she won't be with us. I am out of town this week and unable to visit and attend her mass but please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless,

Over the years I have been blessed being a guest at the Frontino table - Sharing stories and enjoying being a small part of a great American family. I always looked forward to spending time with Dorothy, Johnny and Ann when I would visit Bradford. Time marches on and I know that each life has a path, some leave a deep mark and Dorothy was a gem - Someone that made the point of making me feel part of something bigger than myself. It came natural to Dorothy, to have an open door and it was a feeling that touched me. The Frontinos were a touchstone for my life and Dorothy will always be someone that I will not forget. God Bless.

Bill and I have known Dorothy for years. When Bill passed away in 2011 she was there for me. She had a funny name for him, she called him the fairy god father. Ann and Jim and Joe if there is any thing I can do please let me know. Love and hugs Micki DeGolier

We had the honor of growing up with the Frontino family and as I said previously they are solid America. Our hearts goes out to the family, especially to Anne. We have so many happy memories of Dorothy. Coming back to Bradford we were always excited to have macaroni and sauce dinner with their family, even if we ate our salad before dinner and always magically, a blackberry pie appeared for desert. She was a great lady and will be very missed. God Bless, Bob Sargent Family
