Dolores,
You were one of the great moms on the block when I was a kid. In those days we always counted on our friend's parents to help us and guide us. This is lacking now as the kids don't play out all day as we did. I will remember you always.

It was an honor to bring her Communion every week
Will miss her
I have had the privilege of knowing her since I was a child since my Uncle Bern and Aunt Bernice Finan lived across the street.
Know she went straight up to Our Lord.
