John, I am sorry to hear of your loss, I surely remember your mother as a very kind person, and I recall the many tiimes when we were young kids the kindness she showed in making sure we were always feed and comfortable in your old North Canton home. Even though I have not seen you in many years , I wish you and your family all the best. I recently relocated back to Canton area after 20 years in Chicago.

Micheal & John , I cannot begin to tell you how very sad I am to hear about Dolores, what a lady she was, I very much enjoyed caring for her and will miss her greatly, she had 2 wonderful sons, who took very good care of her. God bless you and know that she will always be us.

Aunt Dolores was such a joy and, even though we got reconnected late in life, I looked forward to every visit and every phone call. A trip to see her was on my agenda in a couple of weeks, as my husband just went to heaven on May 17th. But I know they are partying together now and I am glad he was there to receive her home. I will miss her laughter and encouragement. Much love to John and Michael from your cuz' Julie.

Over the past many years I had the privilege of many long phone conversations with Aunt Dolores. She was a woman before her time. In another time she would have been president - she was so fun to talk to about politics and any other subject. She helped me know a family that I would have otherwise not had the opportunity to know. I am grateful to have known her. She loved the Blessed Mother and I know she is sitting right next to her now. Love to Mike and John.
