Dear Jan and Ray:
I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.

I have always considered Dolores the "Ultimate Volunteer". She and her husband Ed have graced many individuals in Waukesha County with their gifts of love & their time over the years. I will always remember her generosity & thoughtfulness for others. Condolences to Ed and family for their loss of a wonderful lady.
