I didn't spend too much time with her, but I spent enough time with her for her touch my heart. She was the nicest woman I have ever met, she had the biggest heart and her smile could make anyone smile. She would always tell me this story about how she could fly an airplane but couldn't drive a car. Just the way her eyes lit up when she talked about stuff like that made me happy. It will be weird going to Amy's house without her there, but knowing that she isn't suffering and that she is in a better place makes me happy. She'll be watching down on everyone she held close. She was such a happy and good person and I'm so glad I had the fortune of having her in a part of my life.

I have so many memories it would take a year to mention them all. My most cherished memory is seeing the smile on her face when her and I went galavanting around town. Pretty sure our husband's weren't to happy with us either. Lol
She loved making family memories. I believe she hung on so long for her family. She made it clear on a nightly basis to verbalize how much she enjoyed spending time with her family. She always said," I want to live to bee 100 to make sure my kids go straight" I asked her how we were doing so far, she said " I can't complain"
Grandma had the most kind, loving & compassionate heart I have ever known a person to have. Her demeanor and ways with words could melt your heart. She truly made my heart smile. She will be missed. I will miss our walks at night to the dairy freeze and summer mornings down van dyke. She loved watching the cars go by, and sitting in the Gazebo. In fact If I didn't open the drapes every morning oh boy, was I gonna get it.. I feel honored to have been able to spend her last days and seconds with her. I have an Angel watching over my family.. R.I.P. My ever loving grandmother.

Larry and I are so deeply saddened by the passing of Aunt Dolorse and equally saddened that due to health issues we are unable to attend her funeral and be some source of comfort to her family.
I have many wonderful memories of my Aunt Dolorse......I recall how she always smelled so good and how nice she always dressed and always had some type of jewelry on!! I remember too how she would describe In detail places she had visited on vacations and the many pictures she'd share when she and her girls would visit the Soo; something we always looked forward to!!
To Claudia, Laura, Ginny & Amy. We offer you our sincerest heartfelt sympathy have you in our thoughts and prayers during this most painful time.
Love & Hugs
Mary Anne & Larry

Love, Kerry Duston

Im friends with her Great Grandaughter Kathleen . Whenever i went over to there house i loved it . Her grandmother would teach us life lessons . She always gave us the best advice she could give . I remember when we would be listening to music and she would just get up and come dance with us i have a video of her doing it . She was such a nice , sweet , caring lady she inspired me for the good and to stay away from the bad .

One of my most favorite memories of my Aunt Dolores. When we were kids , we would spend the night at Aunt Dolores , and she would make a " big" paper bag of popcorn ,
(of course loaded with real melted butter) and then we would get our jammies on and watch TV.The BEST Aunt any one could ever ask for ! In my heart always. Michele
