In the wee hours of Memorial Day, our adorable mother passed away. We were with her all week long, and we were able to say our goodbyes in the most beautiful way. Absolutely nothing was left unsaid. It's all made more tolerable because we know she is now where she has wanted to be for a long time. And she is finally free of the frail body that was failing her so. Knowing she is free helps our heart, but the tears still flow. We love you, mom. You are our sweet angel.
There will be an intimate memorial service for immediate family. We invite everyone to pay respects by sharing memories on this site. We have also received inquiries regarding flowers or donations. For those interested, please visit the Bible Study Fellowship webpage to see how to make a donation in her honor: https://www.bsfinternational.org/ways-to-donate.
Tributes
Leave a tributeJust being near and close to her was always a lesson as to what we all should
be like.
I always looked forward calling her on her birthday and other special occasions.
I take comfort in knowing that she is now at a far better place than we are.
Rest assured, we will all be together on day.
She was so close to people, including ordinary people like me, Rose, one of her caregivers. Always grateful, she also was so compassionate and ready to give that she could not afford having meal alone at home without sharing with people around her.
With remarkable courage, she was ready to leave this world and meet her little Jesus as well as her other beloved ones she was truly missing.
You really deserve our tears and prayers, Dolores. R.I.P.
Your dear friends Rose and Nassy.
and life and love with her when she came. She always showed a genuine interest in all of us and it made me feel very loved. She was fun and gorgeous. What a beautiful soul inside and out. She will be missed. Love and prayers to you all!

You are still with me
I know you are still with me and can hear my words and feel my thoughts and love. You and Dad had such a wonderful life together. You were never truly happy after he left us until now. I am so happy that you have finally found your true joy and peace. It's beautiful, isn't it???? You deserve it all! You are amazing!!!! I love you deeply. Always have and always will. You were a real class act!
Childhood Memories of Aunt Butch
You are my heart
I owe everything that I am -- and all that I have become -- to you and dad. My love for you is overwhelming, and there is no way to express how grateful I am for all that you have given me, all that you have taught me. You always were - and always will be - the classiest, most glamorous woman there ever was. I will forever cherish the wonderful memories we made over the past years, and I am thankful that you left the physical world knowing how very much I adore you. Hold dad tight and soar among the clouds with the angels, watching over us from above. Know that not a day will go by -- ever -- without my missing you. You are my heart.
