Dear Myron and Family,
Chaye and I wish to share with you our deep sympathy with the passing of Dolores, a very wonderful and dear lady. Recall, Myron, that you and I started working together at HRB on the same day, 5 April, 1965. Well, during my many years working there, Dolores always reminded me of that and consistently was helpful to me many times, and always with that warm and friendly smile that was so special to everyone. She really liked people and enjoyed being able to assist them through her keen awareness of her job expertise. Also, as a 1954 State College High School Graduate, she was a classmate of my wife, Chaye Corl DeMark, who says that Dolores, was not only a special and always friendly individual, but that she also had a wonderful singing voice.
Please know that we honor Dolores's life and share your loss, but with good feelings about her positive and most friendly embraces that she always gave to everyone with whom she came in contact.
Sincerely,
Chaye and Gene DeMark
Ashburn, Virginia
