I had the privilege of working with Delores during the final years of her working at United Glass. She taught me how to understand some of the details of working in the oil industry and closing the shop when the owner died. We spent many hours in both work and family relationship discussions and I can say I truly respected and appreciated her insight in these areas. We continued our friendship after she retired and I will truly miss her. I want to give my condolences to her family and pray that all their memories of her will continue with them throughout the rest of their lives.
