I am so sorry that I didn’t make it to the funeral home for Dolores but I wanted you all to know what a wonderful person she was to work with and how much joy she brought people with her crafts. We had some good times on 3rd floor at the hospital and I still get compliments on the scrapbooks she made for my kids’ graduations. My deepest sympathy for your loss. Karen Bruno

Grandma Love was a great inspiration to all the children she in countered. Each child knew how much the were loved by her, and we all loved and appreciated her dedication to the staff at the Dry Tavern Head Start. I will cherish all the memories she gave us, and her humor!
Forever in my heart,

Our family was blessed to have known Dolores....our son was diagnosed with diabetes in 1982 when he was just three years old. He was in and out of Waynesburg Hospital a few times....."Grandma" was always there, always smiling, always cheerful.....she gave our son so much tender, loving care! Her positive attitude, her compassion, her loving care helped our family thru that difficult time and we have never forgotten her. It was always a joy to run into her somewhere and chat for a few minutes....and every time, she asked about our son. God surely has an angel up there in Heaven.....fly high "Grandma"..............
