We had such fun with and Paul and then just with you. You were our long time neighbor in Newport, and such a good neighbor. I cried the day you left to live in Salem. But we visited, not as often as I would have liked, but kept in touch with phone calls.
You had a long, rich life Dolores and were blessed with good sons and grandchildren.
May you rest in peace Dolores and never suffer from cramp ever again.
