Personal note from A Note from Family

Thank you to everyone for your support during this difficult time. We would love for you to post your favorite photos and/or stories about Aunt Dolores on the memories tab of this memorial website.

Though we will not be hosting an in-person event for everyone as per Dolores' wishes, we set up this memorial as a place for us all to gather, to share our favorite memories, to set up a charitable initiative in her name, and to grieve together as a family. Dolores will be missed tremendously.

It is preferred, if you are willing, instead of flowers to use the donate portion of this website to donate to helping animals in need. As you know, Dolores loved dogs (namely Dixie I and II, Hope, and Joy) and would have appreciated knowing that people were helping dogs in her name.
