My deepest sympathy to all the family of Delores. She always spoke so proudly of her family and I know you brought much joy and love into her life. She would tell about the fun she had playing cards with her sisters…sounds like many times clear into the night! Delores will be missed by many. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Nelda Nelson and the entire Nelson family.
