Not sure what to say?

I have very fond memories of Lenore. She is greatly missed.

A wonderful and supportive friend. Greatly missed.

Love you Lenore, you are one of a kind. I'm amazed by all of the people you pulled into your circle of love.

I have so many lovely memories of Lenore, but an abiding one is when she persuaded a hotel manager to give 4 of us free accommodation on the condition that one friend (Big Dave) got a tattoo of the Yakima River Canyon Marathon logo. He did and the manager honoured the deal.

Although not a runner herself, one would be challenged to find a stronger friend to the running community of which she and Bob, ("Team Dolphin"), were staples. During my 5 years assigned to Fort Lewis Washington, I became good friends of the Dolphins. They came to our then rental house in Lakewood WA for my 40th birthday in 2006. Lenore was at every race Bob ran, so I saw her every time I ran marathons. She had a very happy and robust personality and it was always a pleasure speaking to her...

Lenore Dolphin, May you Rest In Peace in the Arms of our Lord God Almighty forever. I love you. God bless you. Jose.

What a wonderful person and she will be missed by many. many marathon runners. Her encouragement to me made it possible for me to complete over 100 marathones. My thoughts and prayers are with Bob and all who knew Lenore.

Thank you, Lenore, for inspiring me to become more than I ever inagined..
