To the Krause family. Our family is sorry for your loss. It is hard to go through this difficult time, but it's good to know that we keep in our heart all the good moments, love, and care that we share with our loved ones. Romans 8:38, 39 says that nothing …. not even death is be able to separate us from God's love.

I will remember my aunt Dolly with wonderful memories. We moved up to Paradise in 1975 and in 1976 my uncle Dewey and aunt Dolly also from the San Jose area moved to Paradise. As our children got older we spent almost every weekend of the summer getting the kids together they swam and we BBQ and listened to oldies and had a great time. She loved getting together with family and friends and any occasion was a party with her. When the kids got older and she really wanted to work (as if raising 5 kids wasn't enough to want to retire) so I got her an application from my job at 3M. They hired her too so we car pooled and this was the beginning of Lucy & Ethel (our names from friends at 3M called us) Dolly had a zest for life and will be missed but the memories will never die. May God's grace surround her family with peace.

Dolly, You were my best friend, when we moved to Paradise. You were the one who kept me sane, when I felt so far away from my family. We spent hours on the phone, and even more hours, sitting together, watching our kids play. I will always remember those days, with fond memories. Rest in Peace. I love you. Jackie

When I was little you were my bigger footsteps to follow, as I got older your footprints and feet got biiger so I followed them to dance day and night. I sure miss that, you dancing with drink in your hand shaking that skinny butt of yours, well I sure miss that, no one can take your place Aunt Dolly. There will never be another you. You and Aunt Francis are my favorite Aunts.You always had room for my kids, no matter how many you had in your home, you always loved them, fed them, made them safe. You loved me in spite of myself. On my dark days you were there, you and Uncle Dewey would take me to the park. I wish you were here another 20-30 years so we could dance it out. I'ts a sad day. So where you are, I hope it's with lots of family and friends dancing the twist with chubby checkers' luv luv luv ur favorite niece Lydia

I've met Dolly only a few times and what I remember is that beautiful smile she always had. And love she shared for her children. My deepest sympathies go to all her loved ones.

I love you mom, more than words can say. I too share sentiments with Aunt Becky... It hasn't quite got to me. I remember all the stuff that annoyed me and that makes me hold back the tears... Ha, I know you would have found that funny. You're my moms and I don't think I'd be who I am now if not for you... Well, you know... Personality wise.
