Greg, Mike and Tim, sad to hear of your mom’s passing. Delores was such a good friend. A devoted mother and loved The Lord. Such a blessing, she touched my life for the better…. Loving God, Family and Country….
Rest In Peace Delores. I took care of your lawn for over 20 years and always enjoyed seeing you smile. You were always so kind. You always ask me about my Family. It was my pleasure to know you.
Ronnie, thank you for your kind words. Mom spoke of you often.
Our deepest sympathy to Delores’s family and loved ones. We shared the same humble beginnings in Brushton. We loved her mother and father and the fellowship we shared at Brushton Methodist Church. Mom and Valley were as close as sisters! We often talk of the wonderful tomatoes and half runners from their garden and the time Valley tried to mail us a box full of half runners. As much as you will miss her, celebrate the life she shared with all of you. Love, Rosalie, DeAnna and Paul Hudson
Thank you so much for the words of comfort. I certainly remember your family, your Dad, mother, and Paul. Michael Graley
My heart goes out to your family during this difficult time. The loss of a loved one is truly heartbreaking however I have found much comfort, as I hope you do, in the words of John 5:28,29 “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” Very very soon our heavenly father promises to bring back to life through a resurrection all of our dear loved ones. What a wonderful promise and how we long for that day so close.
I worked with Delores @ City National Bank and she was always a joy to be around. We had a lot of fun working together and she was a real sweetheart. My deepest sympathy to the family.
