I knew Delores and grew up within her family in the early years. She was a special person. Fly with Angels. Your family will be in my prayers. Darvin Hareel
My deepest condolences go out to the entire Ames family. Wes & Myrtles family were neighbors to the Moncurs so have many childhood memories. Treasure all of your good times with Delores. May she rest in peace…
I want to send hugs & my deepest sympathy to Dee’s family. It has been many years since I last saw Dee. I use to live in a house owned by Marv & Dee in Custer, & it was in walking distance of their own home. I vividly remember all the visits we had & her vibrant smile & laugh. She gave wonderful hugs & I’ll always remember her for the positive support she gave me. She always made time for a good talk! We went fishing together, too. THAT was quite memorable!! She & Marv always made me feel like part of the family. I want all her kids to know I am thinking about them & to know their Mom is at peace, having fun & reunited with loved ones up above. She will always be watching over them, as her family was her most precious belonging. She was proud of all of you. God Bless all of you & always remember the good times. -Love & Sympathy, Shauna Sires-Stanfiel Woodward
