Our sympathies to Delores' family. We enjoyed
having her as a neighbor at the lake and had
many good times, especially on the 4th of July
when we had fire works.
We would like to offer our heartfelt sympathy and prayers. Delores was a great neighbor to our family since my mom and dad bought our cabin on Pelican Lake. Delores always new the Lake news and filled us in on weekends when we came to the lake. She loved to join us during cocktail hour on many occasions and tel us great stories. We always new the weather was good when we saw Delores reading on the front yard swing and when it was warm because she sat with her feet in the water at the end of the pier. She will surely be missed by all the neighbors.
