I was really sad to hear about Delores, We dated way back when , She was always a lot of fun to be with and we really had some good times together. We remained friends afterward and had caught up with each other not too long ago.. I will always have fond memories of Delores and will never forget her. Rest in peace Delores. Gone but not forgotten.
