Our deepest sympathy to Delores’ family. She was a very sweet lady and will be missed by many. Good memories will bring you comfort and peace in the days ahead.
I keep getting this picture in my mind of Debbie and I coming back to her house after a Compton dance night – slightly worse for wear – and hearing your mom yell “Deborah!” She knew, and we knew she knew, we’d been up to something we weren’t supposed to – but she just sort of smiled and never said another word.
She was a strong but very kind lady and she always made me feel like part of the family whenever I was there. I hope this little flashback story made you smile for a minute or two in the long days ahead.
Love to you all,
RoseMary

Lisa and family,
We are so sorry for the loss of your mother. Keep the memories close to your heart. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Debbie and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult and sorrowful time. Cherish the many happy memories that you shared with your mother as they will provide you comfort in the days ahead.
Deloris was such a wonderful & giving Woman, with endless love for her Family. My life was richer having met her when I was so young. Prayers to you all. Love, Franny
Sending thoughts and prayers to the family. I am so sad to hear of her passing. I’ve known Deloris for as long as I can remember. She was a lovely lady; so caring and giving. In the more recent years, I’d see her at Sunshine Center Day Care where she loved the children she cared for like they were her own. My grandsons loved seeing her each day as she made them feel very special. RIP Deloris!
All of us at Sunshine send our condolences and prayers. Ms. Dee was a beautiful lady and touched the lives of so many children and their families throughout her years at Sunshine. Her positive attitude and contagious smile made her so much fun to work with. She was a special friend to many of us. Hugs to all of you.
So sorry for your loss. Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.
To the family I was so sorry to hear of Ms. Dee’s passing. She was such a blessing to me and my husband. When we left her with our only child at the Sunshine Center in the morning to go to work, I knew he would be well taken care of. I didn’t need to worry she took such loving care of all of the children. My son is 15 now and he remembers her. We loved her. We will keep you in our prayers.
