I’d like to extend my sincere sympathy to Delores’ family. I knew her as “Grandma Dee” and very much enjoyed and appreciated working with her at West Elementery! Dee was one of several Foster Grandma’s I was able to have in my classroom over the years. I always said that Dee, and Foster Grandmas in general, were worth their weight in gold! She was a loving, caring helper and I will remember her fondly. Sincere condolences. Deb Tauer
