Daloris Was a delightful lady, loved by all who knew her. She had a genuine warmth and a sense of humor that made everyone feel better just by being in her presence. She deeply cared for others and her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She had a deep faith, and the light of her inner love and character shone brightly in every fiber of her being. It was an honor to know her and to call her a friend. She will be missed but not forgotten.

I am sorry to hear of Daloris's passing. She was a delightful presence in the CS department, and I always enjoyed chatting with her. She was professional, competent, and friendly -- and was missed from the moment she retired.
I am sure those near and dear to her miss her more today, and you have my deepest sympathy.

I knew your Mom from Computer Science at Purdue. I tried to keep in touch with her, especially around her birthday. And, unfortunately, this year time slipped away too fast. She was such a kind, thoughtful person with a little bit of mischief sprinkled in. I am so sorry for your loss. She will be greatly missed.

Mark, John and families,
I am saddened to hear of your loss. I cannot think of your mother without remembering her laugh and jovial nature. I know you will miss her so much. My heart hurts for you. Dad arrived here in Georgia today, so he passes his condolences along from a distance as well.
Prayers lifted for you all.
