Dolores was my mother's best friend since they worked at GRT in the late '70s. I remember how hard it was when Rich died; he was the first of their groupthe Kowalskis, Balistreris, and Katensto go. It affected me more deeply than I would have expected; it was like a preview of my own parent's passing. I remember how small my parents, and the Katens, looked in after the funeral. Anyway, now Vince Balistreri, John Katen, and Dolores are also gone. It makes the world a lot smaller. Rest in peace, Dolores, and thank you for making my mother's world brighter. I, and everyone in my family, will never forget you.
