TO the Family of Dolores. I was sorry to hear of your Mom's passing and wish you and your families my condolences. I did Delores hair at Classy cuts in Appleton and was just thinking about her the other day. She was a very nice lady with lots of great stories to share.Especially hearing about Mary and John's travels and diving experiences. It was a pleasure getting to know her. I 'm sure she will be surely missed.
