I didn´t know Delores really well but for many decades she was a smiling face at the family gatherings. She had to be an anchor, a loving, giving, down to earth no BS mom. She was always welcoming and cheerful when I´d see her, even after a year or two or five. I know she will rest in peace, she deserves it! Much love and healing to her family ~

She always had a smile on her face and was happy to see you. She will be missed but I´m sure she´s happy to be back with John. God Bless
