I just learned of Mrs. Kuenster's passing. Bill(Billy)Kuenster and I were classmates and long time friends.We went to St Linus grammar school and then on to Richards high school. I knew the Kuenster family for many years and was often invited to many of there family gatherings. I will never forget Joy teaching all of us the "Hustle" (disco era). My dad has been very ill this past year and would always receive communion at St. Linus. Since he is home bound he just found out about Dolores's passing when a parishoner came over to his house to give him communion. I am so sorry I missed saying good bye to a very special lady.

Delores was my neighbor for about 5 years. I always enjoyed conversations with her through our yards. She was always there helping out during elections. She was a very kind and sweet person.

Dolores always made me laugh, she had a wonderful sense of humor. She loved life to the fullest. She deeply missed Bill, her husband. Dolores always had a story to tell or an event that she had been to. It was my pleasure treating Dolores, we could talk for hours. I will miss seeing her name in my schedule. I'm Glenda her Dental Hygienist, from Dr. Laudando's office. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

Many years have passed since I knew Mrs. Kuenster. I was very close to her son, Bill. We dated for many years during my High School days. Mrs. Kuenster was a very unique woman, with a funny sense of humor. She will be missed by all of her family.

I will miss Dolores very much. I've known her my whole life. She and Bill were like my "adopted" Grandparents, although we were only neighbors. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

I regret I never had the privilege of meeting Dolores; although we spoke by phone and I got a kick out of her conversations and spunk. My deepest condolences to her family.

Aunt Dolores was an extremely fun-loving aunt who shared many stories engaging her laughter that was so contagious. Dolores will be significantly missed by the Jack Kuenster family as she was very much a part of our immediate family who loved us dearly. And while we will significantly miss Aunt Dolores at our family gatherings, she has left a mark on all of our hearts so we will never forget her sweet and unique personality.
