I worked with Delores many years ago at Canteen. She was so much fun to work with, always so happy and laughing/giggling, which would almost always get us in trouble. It was worth it.. She was one of a kind and I was blessed to have had the opportunity to get to know her. She left a lasting impression on me and I thought of her often through the years.
My deepest condolences to her beautiful family. May God be with you during this difficult time
