I never knew Dolores but "met" her through a one-time exchange of letters sponsored by Rex Huppke, columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, during the COVID-19 pandemic. He thought it would be fun for people to "connect" with seniors who might be shut-ins during the Easter holiday a year ago. I received such a charming letter back from Mrs. Witkowski that I hoped we might become pen pals. Unfortunately, I never received anything more from her and was saddened to learn that she had been ill until her recent passing. The testimonials herein tell a story of a dear lady loved my many for her kindness and generosity. My sincere condolences to the entire family during this difficult time. May she forever Rest in Peace.

Sweet Dolores,
Thank you for welcoming me into your home and treating me like family. Even though I was just a close friend of Robert´s, there was a picture of me hanging on your wall which made me feel even more at home. You were so warm, friendly and gentle, but also a fierce protector of your own.
I always told Robert what a strong woman you were. I know you had been fighting so many battles to stay here earthside with your loved ones, but now it´s time for you to rest and guard them from above. Your children were blessed with the best mother ever. I pray that you are at peace now, and send my heartfelt condolences to all of your near and dear.
Love,
Sandy and family

A poem I came across...
In loving memory of my mother
If roses grew in heaven
If roses grow in heaven Lord
please pick a bunch for me.
And place them in my mothers arms
and tell her they´re from me
Tell her I love and miss her
and when she turns and smile
Place a kiss on her cheek
and hold her for a while
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it everyday
But there is an ache in my heart within
my heart that will never go away
My deepest condolences to the entire family Our prayers are with you Robert and your whole family

I keep hearing that I was a great son, but my Mother is the reason I am who I am. My Mother was an angel and now she is an actual angel in heaven. My Mother was selfless and compassionate. I will forever be half until the day she and I are reunited. She was my life and I will live the rest of my life living in her honor. I was born from inside of her and now she lives inside of me for all eternity!! I love you Mom , until we meet again!
