Delores was always laughing. Even when I wouldn't see her for years when I ran into her she remembered me. My daughters were a few years behind Dawn's girls, first at Seqoia and then at College Park. I am certain she will be missed by everyone. I was sorry to see that Donny passed away before her. No one should have to outlive their children. RIP Delores.

I remember Delores as the "Milk Lady" at Larkey School. She was a very kind person. My condolences to her family
