Sorry to hear of your loss—think of all the good times you had over the years you were together. Stay strong!
Wayne, Brad, Carol, Maari, Josh:
I am so sorry about Delores, she will be missed by everyone who lives she touched. Had it not been for her kindness and generosity I would have never met her & Wayne. About 10 years ago I used to stop at McD’s for a pop and to read the paper before work, one day she said would you like to come sit with us? After that I stopped everyday before work to visit my wonderful new friends. It was so nice to see her smiling face and she would greet me with a hug and kiss. She always had coupons for me and never missed sending out a card for my birthday and every occasion. I will miss her dearly. You were so blessed to have her in your lives.

We were deeply saddened to hear of Delores’s passing. She was a very special lady. We enjoyed our many visits with you and Delores at McDonalds. I always looked forward to her hugs on Sunday mornings when we were greeters together. She was loved by her family and many friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Love, Terry and Karen Paulson
