Bill & Family, We are sorry for your loss. The Photo Gallery shows that Dolores had a great life and a wonderful family. She will be missed.

Bill and family,  our prayers and thoughts are with you. May you be comforted by God's mercy and peace, and may sweet memories embrace you in the days ahead.

Dear Dawn, Skyler and Dee's beloved family and friends, 
I have had the pleasure to spend holidays and family celebrations with Dee here in California. Dee is extremely  kind and loving. She's passed along such great wisdom to her family. I know this since her daughter, Dawn is very brave, smart and also a great mother. Great mothers, raise great mothers! May your strength and faith get you through these deep sorrowful days, so soon  there will be joyous memories to share with each other. Sorry we are far away for the funeral services. But we will all pray for you all tomorrow. Our deepest sympathy, Rita Devins and Family and Labuni Family (Rudy and Family)

I met Dee many years ago when I started china painting.  She was instrumental in encouraging me to enter my paintings in the state fair.  We worked together each week on our porcelain,  and once a year we found ourselves together anxiously awaiting critiquing and ribbons.  She enjoyed giving her pieces that won ribbons away as gifts.  These creations are a labor of love, often with many months of toil and time put into them.  Anyone who has worked with fired art knows that many factors are out of your control.  We've persevered past cracked and broken porcelain, chipped paint, and faded colors, hoping to have a beautiful piece to present and be judged.  So too are our lives.  We strive for the inner beauty that will be part of our everlasting soul, despite a lifetime of cracks and chips beyond our control.  Dee is a beautiful person and I will always remember her and the friendship we shared.

Dawn & family.  Your mother was my "birthday twin."  We worked together at Fort Bragg, and stayed in touch always after that.  She was everything you could hope for as a friend, and she adored her children.  Please accept my most sincere condolences at your loss.

Dear Dawn, Bill and Family, I am so sorry for your loss.  I first met Dee in the 80's when we worked together at Ft Carson.  She was the sweetest, kindest person I've had the pleasure of knowing.  She beamed whenever she spoke of you kids.  You were her pride and joy.  You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.  God Bless.,

Dear Bill and family,
Please accept our deepest sympathies and condolences during this difficult time.   Your military family is thinking and praying for you.  Blessings and peace to you all.

Queen Elizabeth once said, "Grieving is the price we pay for loving!" Remember the smiles and with your Mom they were constant and sincere - What a wonderful person.

Dawn and Family, We never know why the ones we love are taken from us so early. All I hope is in your time of mourning you may take comfort in knowing the lord choose Dee. My heart and prayers go out to all of you.

Bill, Dawn & family.  I am so sorry for your loss.  Please accept my deepest sympathies.  I have known Dee for a long time and will miss her terribly.  She always had a smile on her face!  Dee was so proud of you Bill and Dawn and talked of you every time we got together. God Bless you.  Love, Cindy Yeager

Dawn and Bill, I am thinking of you during your time of loss.  Your mother was a precious person and she loved you both and was so proud of the both of you. I knew your mother as we china painted together.  God Bless.

Dawn and Family,
I only had a brief moment to meet your mom at Christmas, but I sensed immediately the bond you two shared.  I will keep your mom in my prayers and those who she touched during her time on earth.  May we celebrate her life and keep her always in our hearts.  God Bless.

Dawn & Bill...I am so sorry for your loss. Dee was a dear friend and co-worker for many years. She had a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed a good laugh. Some day "Meathead" will meet "Dingbat" again. God bless you and your family...Love, Woody
