What wonderful memories I have of my "Aunt" Delores and the boys. What a blessing to have found family living on the same street in Houston all those years ago. Dolores was one of the sweetest and kindest persons I knew. Much love to Scott, Craig, Jennifer, Sam, and all the family.
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent and caring service.
