What a wonderful woman. She and Larry attended our exercise program religiously. They were so fun to talk to and laugh with. She talked about her family a lot and we heard about nieces and nephews and their accomplishments. I even had the chance to run into her at Ford county fair. I have wonderful memories of them. I am so glad our paths crossed. She was a great spark to our world. I never did call her "Dodo"... Rest in Peace, sweet Dolores.
