Delores was such a force of nature. Funny and full of energy. She will be missed by all. I hope my cousins and their families find comfort knowing Delores no longer has to endure the sadness from the loss of her wonderful husband Tom to whom she was so devoted. They were a match made in heaven for sure.

Will miss a beautiful fiesty woman. She was a good friend to my mother Pauline. She never had to worry where her children were. We were all in the street playing kick ball or at my home playing Jacks with my mom. Those were the good days. To her children who were my childhood friends , she will be sorely missed.

This fiery, hilarious, passionate woman always kept us laughing. She was so full of life and I am lucky to have gotten to know her and spend time with her over the years. I adored Dolores and she knew it and many times attempted to dodge my constant displays of affection, to no avail.

Mom made me laugh every visit I ever had , even at her medical appts. At the end I would not trade the wake and funeral for having the opportunity to spend the last few days with her. Heart wrenching but priceless, she was a spitfire until the end. Thinking about her will always make me smile.

Saw two beautiful red cardinals yesterday frolicking in the pine tree behind my house and knew immediately that my parents were happily and lovingly back together once again.
