Delores was so spirited and full of happiness and life. I will always think of her dancing and of course her fondness of Elvis. Always the first one to hit the dance floor and the last one to sit down. I will miss this sweet precious lady

Kathy, Doug, Myra and all the others, I am too far away to give you a hug, but please imagine it. Dolores was a lot like my mamma--always doing for others, never thinking of self first. She had a hard life in her early years. She was faithful even when she was treated unfaithfully. Her trust was in the Lord Jesus, the Son of God. You have no reason to fear for her now.
I recall during the LR school crisis we sometimes, when I did not have chapel club, would be early and sat in the back of the auditorium and caught up on each other and on our studies for the day. She supported me in many ways. I owe her my love and appreciation, so I share it with you all.
Kathy, forgive me for not sending you my love and sympathy in your sorrow before this. I did not have an address for you. I am still praying for your adjustment recovery, and provision for all your needs. Wanda
