My warmest condolences go out to the family and friends of Dolores Jankowski. She certainly had a zest for life and no doubt she will be missed.I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring you comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be reassuring. May the God of all comfort grant you peace and strength during this difficult time.

To Aunt Dee's Loving Friends Frances and LaVerne in Dallas Texas. Aunt Dee loved and cherished you both over these last 55 year + since you were roommates in the 1960's. Thank you for all you did for her during her last years in Dallas.

Thank you also to her neighbors who helped her get through her days by shopping and checking in on her (Sheri).

To The Silverado Staff at Lake Zurich. Your love and patience brought out the best of Aunt Dee in theses last 2+ years. Her prayers were answered when she and Henrietta found their way to the Silverado. Henrietta will carry on showing the love and affection she learned from Aunt Dee with her new Mom Michele. Thank you for also carrying for the well being of Henrietta.

Aunt Dee was vivacious and intelligent. She offered a lot toward learning about human nature.
