Dear Tommy and Tommy, my name is Sharon Parsons, but it was Sharon Loy in 1963. That is when I met your Mom, D.T., as we called her in the business office at the former OVH in Steubenville, Oh. She was a delight to work, with, and a very dear lady. She was also very amusing in telling all of us there of some of the antidotes about you boys, and of course your father too. We also had the pleasure of meeting him too. He would pick your Mom up afterwork at five oclock every day, like clockwork. They were both very special people, and a pleasure to have known them.
You both have my deepest sympathy at this very difficult time.
With thoughts and prayers,
Sharon Parsons.
I\’m so sad to hear of Dolores\’s passing. She was a wonderful boss and a remarkable person. She filled the work place with laughter and her smile was infectious. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. May this sweet lady RIP. <3
