Not sure what to say?

My dear prima, I am so sorry to not have visited with you as much as I would have liked. We did have good times growing up in Anthony. You have always been in my thoughts and prayers and you always will be. Rest in peace prima

My dearest Dolores, we are so saddened by your loss. Dad and I will miss your calls as you checked up on him. Then giggle about Villalobos men. Know you will forever be in our hearts. Till we meet and see you with open arms. Vaya con Dios ❤

Dolores was an amazing educator and a delightful co-worker. We enjoyed many years together at MacArthur Elementary. She will be sorely missed. Prayers, comfort and peace to her family and all who knew and loved her.

RIP Prima
Sig/Josie Sanchez ❤
