Dolores, you were my dad's rock. You put the twinkle in his eye. You gave him strength to find his niche, so he could work and create and invent. You were his guiding star. You were his partner so he could see the world. You gave my sister and me things our mother could not; adventures, clothes, food. You taught us to be strong. You were a friend to many and they loved you back. You were honest and generous. Thank you Dolores, for all you were. May you rest in peace.
We were so fortunate to know dear Dolores. She joined our Hoofer Tap group and was a real asset. We loved hearing her stories of her life adventures. Dolores lived a full life. May she rest in peace. What a terrific lady, and she will be missed.
I was sorry to hear that Dolores Green Passed away. She was a fun person to be around. Her stories, about her life, we fun to hear. I knew her from the Hoofers tap dance class. She will be missed.
I just saw this several years later but my mom Shirlee and your mom were best friends in the 80s and 90s. We spent lots of time with Dolores and Quinn and my mom at theatre shows and just hanging out with the three muskateers (we called the 3 ladies that as they were so happy together in their friendship and adventures!). Please know she was beloved by our entire Buntenbach family and we wondered for years how things were going and reached out a few years back. Again, our very belated condolences.
