Dolores' family would like to thank the ER and second floor staff at Bellin Hospital for their attentive and compassionate care. Their kindness was overwhelming.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the ability of friends and family to come together in person and grieve in typical ways. Please know that this was not an easy decision to have a private funeral. We would have loved to have had a larger service to celebrate Dolores' life. We know many of you would have joined us in conveying your sympathy and sharing your memories. We feel the prayers and love you have been sending.
How lucky we are to have been so very loved by you. It makes saying goodbye so hard.
