My sympathy to all the Cronin Family. Time and distance did not remove Dee from our hearts and minds. She remained a faithful friend, loving and wise. Over the years she sent greetings, always reminding us of God's love and hers, too. Peace, and thanks, Dee.

Dear Friends, I wish that I could personally express my great admiration for Dolores. She was a constant source of comfort and support for over 40 years. Her friendship was one of God's gifts to me and my family. Dolores had faced many hardships in her life, but her faith and love of God and neighbor never wavered. She was blessed with a loving family who showed her their love and respect constantly. I commend Vickie and Tim especially for the loving care they gave to her these last years. She is one of God's chosen. Now she is at peace. Love, Mary Kay Condon

Mrs. Cronin has always been a part of my life. At every family party she always welcomed you with a warm smile. My kids always thought of her as a Grandma. They will miss the little trinkets that she would have on hand whenever we visted at Uncle Tim and Auntie Vicki's house. I know that Mrs. Cronin was welcomed into heaven with open arms. I wish for her family to find peace that she is no longer suffering, and is now in His loving care.
Love,
Laura, Joe, Grace, Nina and Joe

It is impossible to describe the magnitude of the impact that Dee Cronin had on my family. A best friend to our mom, a caring neighbor on Taylor Street in Oak Park, a daily communicant at St. Angela's and an endless source of positive faith and spirituality. She continued to inspire us even after we moved 1800 miles away, and to the end of her life. She was and will always be our own personal Saint. Our love remains with the Cronin family. We love you Dee.
