Kim Witte says
I’ve been lucky enough to know Delores for several years. Sometimes she tried to be gruff, but she never could. She’d always end up with a smile on her face, and she’d go along with my ideas by saying, “fine, if it will make you happy.” I can’t count the times we played games and laughed together. I already miss her! She was quite the lady!
