Dolores will be desperately missed by all those she’s left behind. Our hearts are forever broken. She was a devout woman of faith and servant of the Lord; we take solace in knowing that she has entered the Kingdom of Heaven with the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ. She was one of a kind; to be loved by her was to be truly blessed.
