My deepest condolences to you and your family. Delores was a life long dear friend to my Mother, Marie Smith. Delores was a true devote friend that never left my Mother's side. Even when my Mom's memories were lost with dementia. Delores was patient and understanding always calling my Mom to offer her company and compassion. She was an angel. Now she is with the Angels in Heaven!

Dee was always so joyful and fun. My mother Audrey Royce said Dee was her best friend. Glad Dee lived a long life. Hugs to all her loved ones from the Royce/Quall family. Blessings from above.
