Delores enriched our lives with kindness, sharp wit and wise advice. She will be missed greatly but glad she is in a better place, with no pain. I keep thinking I should call and chat with her like we did every day or so. It is hard to lose such a special friend. Sorry for your loss Norm, Bob, Jeff and family.

Delores was a beautiful person inside and out. She made many contributions to Gaylord Community Schools especially in her position as Para-pro in the Food Service Program. May God comfort her sons in their loss.
