Heaven is celebrating today for Dee’s arrival !! Mary and family I am sending my condolences for your loss! I loved Delores as the great friend she was to me and many others! I know she will be missed by many !
Aunt Dee was a true lady and always there for everyone. I know she is with Uncle Sonny having a wonderful time -together again. While our hearts are heavy for losing such a precious soul, I know we will meet again some day. She is with the angels watching over us.
