Our sympathies go out to Dee's family. We just found out about her passing away. My grandparents were neighbors, Rudy and Ann Pavletic. Dee was a wonderful woman and mother. She will be missed. My dad, Bob Pavletic, passed away a year ago in July and she came to the funeral home. We had a nice visit and shared fond memories.

A lifelong friendship between our family and Dolores' has changed now, but the memories will keep her in our hearts. The Thanksgiving weekend visits, her pumpkin pies and cheesecakes, her unique laugh and the pre-dawn arrivals for visits when we were kids are just a few of the things that come to mind. Our love & prayers to the family. The Perrott, Benkowski, and Regler Families.
