Heartfelt condolences to you all. Dolores was just six months older than my eldest sister who we lost a few years ago, too. They grew up on farms just a couple miles apart. These losses are difficult, but I’ve found that time strengthens the memories and eases the pain at the same time. Bless you all. Bill Schneider
