"The Stover Family, Anna Mae and Carlene... My heartfelt condolences go out to all of you on the loss of Dolores. She was a sweet and gentle person. I graduated with Dee in the MHS Class of 1952 and always enjoyed seeing her and visiting with her at our class reunions. I remember bowling with her at Pla Mor Lanes and coaching Cheri in the Bantam Girls League. May God keep you all in his care and help you through this sad time. "
