Delores and I were classmates during grade school. We actually got together and visited the World's Fair in San Antonio in the 60's. I lost contact with her until the day of her Mom's funeral when we again reconnected. I am really sorry to hear about her untimely passing. In all of the pictures, her smile is contagious.
