Delores was a beautiful girl and a beloved and cherished woman. No better epitaph can be written for anyone. She will be missed.

well said Marilyn, she was a beautiful person. She was married to one of my most respected classmates ( Herschel Epps) may they be reunited once again. To the family, I am sorry for your loss, you had two wonderful parents and their memories will be with you until such time as you are reunited with them once again.

Delores was a sweet, humerous person. Sat next to her in many classes since our last name started with the same initial. She was a neat girl and I enjoyed knowing her. My condolences to her family.
