I would like to send our Sympathy to Dolores`s family. my husband and I have known Dolores for many years as she had hired us to take care of her husband`s gravesite, making sure it was flowered and well kept looking. She always liked to have it maintained every memorial day with an American flag always. she was always so grateful and we as well, to have known her. Whenever I see a dusty Miller plant, I will always think of Dolores as that was her favorite to be placed yearly. Again my condolences to your family and sincerest sympathy, Don & Sheryl Fredericks

My memories of Dolores are filled with the friendship Tom and I were privileged to have ....with her and Charlie, ...raising their boys into successful young men. Chris, Matthew ,Tim , I am so sorry to read of your mom´s passing. But I smile as I remember all the good times we had with your family. Bless you all.
