I have worked with sister Katie for more years than we would like to admit and have heard many family stories. What a wonderful and wonderfully large family! You are all in our prayers. May Delores rest in peace.

Words can never express how much you meant to me. I couldn't have asked for a better mother in law. You were the epitome of strength, love and kindness. I love you so very much and I will miss you more than anything. I am so truly blessed because you were a part of my life. You will forever be in my heart and never far from my mind. Thank you for loving me! Please give dad a hug:-) until we meet again.... I love you mom!

What fun and merriment Dolores and Billy brought to our home on Joliet Street, tooting the horn as they drove into the driveway...no matter the hour. Hope they are driving around heaven together.
