Dolores was married to my grandfather John (I am the daughter of Sally Michaud-Willwerscheid). She was the only grandmother I ever knew. My husband and I stopped in to visit her a few years ago and it was wonderful to see her so happy! I am so sorry to hear of her death so many months later. My condolences to the family...

Sharon and family,
Your mother was such a lovely person. I enjoyed her through the years and appreciated the love and pride she had in all of you. Love and respect for her were evident by all the family members who shopped and cared for her. You are all in my heart.
Mary, formerly of Lunds Highland

I met Mrs. Willwerscheid a couple of times at family events (I'm Joan Vievering's sister). She was always very gracious, kind and asked questions about me and my family. I pray that your memories of her and her rich life help you through this trying time.
