DoDo, what a pleasant person, we are going to miss her cooking, and the bags of mints, and all the laughter she would bring to us at Mainstream Physical Therapy. She was a treasure. We will deeply miss her.
Growing up around Dolores and her family, I am privileged to have a lifetime of great memories. My thoughts and prayers go out to Theresa, Joe, Woody and their families at this difficult time.
I remember Mrs. Rusinovich from the times that I would visit my grandparents who rented the other half of the duplex they all lived in. When we would visit, I would always be excited to “go next door” and visit with Joe. That would be about 45 years ago. My sister would visit with Theresa also. Mrs. Rusinovich would always invite us in and many times would ask me to stay for dinner. I always looked forward to visiting with them. I’m sure Joe wouldn’t remember me, but I sure do remember him and his family. My heartfelt condolences go out to the family. Your mom was a good woman.
Terry – so sorry to read of the passing of your Mother. You have my deepest sympathy. Thanks for doing my Mothers hair when she was at hospics. Veda
Terry, I am so sorry for your loss. Delores was truly one of a kind and my grandmothers best friend. I thank you for always putting up with both of them, they were a handful when together. I have many great memories of going out to lunch with them and listening to Delores telling many stories. She was a joy to be around and will be missed by many. Keep your spirits high, she would want that. God Bless Jessica
So sorry Terry. I didn’t even know. My thoughts and prayers be with you and yours. Guess I can say I know how you feel. Thank you for doing such a good job on my mom. Sorry again Terry Love Arlene
