I was only with Delores a couple of times when she visited Brad, Pam and the grandkids in Dallas. I was struck by how beautiful she was, and how dignified, with an innate sense of grace. How lucky all of you were to have her as your matriarch. AND, how lucky she was to have all of you-her "masterpiece." Prayers for peace and comfort. Vera Bangs.

Dolores was an elegant, gracious lady who loved her family fiercely. I am so honored to have known her. She gifted my oldest daughter, who happens to be her oldest granddaughter´s cousin, this beautiful painting that hangs in her 2 year old daughter´s bedroom today. Our whole family is SO fortunate to have known such a fabulous lady! My condolences to the entire family.

Delores was absolutely essential to the Kingsville that I remember.

She was such a beautiful, poised and admired lady. I will always hold a big part of my heart for her. I loved listening to her travel stories. Some were unbelievable. I was always "Gerbil" to her and I cherish that. Mr. and Mrs. Allen did the same. Sending so much love and caring to all of you...
Gerbil.

She has a very big part of my heart and always will. Her legacy and footprints will be eternal. She always called me Gerbil. (The Allens did also.). Sending my love and sympathy to all of you...Gerbil
