I have to say the best family times (all my brothers and sisters) we had at the Cascio home on pope st. were the funnest times of our childhoods. The pasta and pizza parties were the best.Will allways miss the gentle giant Joe and the loving hugs from Delores. Our love always.

I first met Dolores when I worked in activities at the nursing home where her mother Anna lived. Later, I met up with her again through Christy and the art world. She was, is and always will be a kind, gracious and courageous person. I had a great deal of admiration for her. Everyone at the nursing home loved her mom dearly and I'm so happy that I got to know both of them. May God bless and comfort you now and always.

Delores was always cherry and smileing. We have been out of Rockford for about 12 yrs. Our prayers are with Delores and her 3 daughters. She is now with Jesus along with Joe. Today is all Souls Day - Oct. 31. Delores and Joe will both get plenty of prayers today. They had many friends. God Bless all of the Cascio family.
