The world has lost a truly wonderful person. However, there is surely one more angel in heaven, one more star in the sky.

Thanks to Grace Dolores, I had more years of exchanging first hand memories of her aunt and namesake, Miss Dolores, one of the most influential people in my younger life. And that will be sorely missed. Grace's innate intelligence, life experiences, and true curiosity always made for interesting repartée, even if I didn't always agree with her viewpoint. Deepest sympathy to all those Lucas and Mattingly family members, especially those to whom she was close.

Ms. Dolores is a great loss to my family. We enjoyed her company for many Easter and Thanksgiving dinners. My mother, Mrs. Hart, and Ms. Dolores went to many concerts together and had many other good times together. We sincerely miss her.
