It is sad to lose a long time friend.
Aunt Delores- you will be missed. I will always remember your Grand Piano in your front room and how beautiful it was. You always wore your hair up so beautifully – I honestly never even knew how long your hair was . It was always prestene and in a classic bun . You were always so put together. We love you.
