Delores was a wonderful lady with a huge heart- she will be sorely missed!
Robert and family, I am quite saddened to hear of Delores’ passing. A big chunk was taken from your hearts but some wonderful memeroies and laughter will begin the repair. I still remember when my folks would go to Lacrosse and watch the wrestling with Bob and Delores. I always liked to ride with Dad when he needed to have Bob repair a truck or if he needed to talk to Bob about something. That meant that I got to see and visit with Delores. She was the salt of the earth with her kind and gentil heart. Between Bob & Delores , Bob & Anne Buchannon and Rose & Paul Kramer a kid could not have had more wonderful people to mentor them. I will always be greatful for the loving kindness they all showed. Bob, take and know that Delores is preparing for the next journey. All my Love, Peggy

Bob & family- I’m so sorry for your loss. She is at peace and is in a better place. Mom and her are no longer suffering. They must be having a party up there. I know mom said that "Mom & Dad are coming to get me but not that day." Maybe her parents came to get her and take her home. Thomas is busy with FFA this weekend but we will get there on Sunday to see you and the rest of the family. If there is anything we can do. Please let us know. Long & Ems Family Farm
