My sincerest condolences go out to the family of Delores. I met her about 13 years ago. She had such a special sense of humor and displayed that right to the end with little comments she would make. She enjoyed having company and would invite me over for tea or coffee and desert. I will miss her and her smile.
My sympathy is extended to your family. I truly enjoyed Delores and her sense of humor, smile and twinkle in her eyes. She always was up for a visit and wanted to know what was going on. Take care and God Bless you during this time of loss.
My sympathy to you Linda and Phil at this difficult time of the loss of your mother. I visited with her at the nursing home when I was back there for the last all school reunion. I still remember the chicken hen Annette and Annelle hauled up to your place. She was their pet and I had decided not to keep chickens. No way would they let me dress and freeze her. They had even given her a name. Take care Love and Prayers. Lavon Mize
My sincere sympathies to your family. I have many good memories when your family was our neighbor. My thoughts and prayers to all of you.
Sorry to hear about Delores, I enjoyed visiting her when we stopped at the nursing home. Our family sends their prayers. Gloria and Bill Beastrom
