Cliff & family:
Heaven has received a wonderful person.
Many on earth will miss her.
Delores was sweet, kind and spunky.
When she didn't like what was said or if you tickled her. I remember her saying "I will slap your face" {I laughed}. I am so grateful to Cliff & the entire family, for letting me take care Delores the last 2 years. She will always be in my prayers with her family. Share the memories, it will keep Delores with us always.
