Dear Family of Delores Hess
Please accept my sincere sympathy at the loss of your mother and also of your father last year.   
I knew them both from going to the Campus dialysis where I went for hemodialysis also.   They were a great couple.   Delores and I were treated by the same doctor for cancer so we had a special bond comparing notes.  I hadn’t seen her in awhile since I started going to the DaVita in Elizabethtown……over a year now.   I did stay in touch though with cards and letters.    May she rest in peace.
In Christian love

My deepest sympathy goes out to Delores’s family. I was saddened to hear of her passing.  I graduated from LCHS with Delores. She was always such a sweet, kind person who always cared about others, and was loved by many.  She was an inspiration to all with her bright smile and positive outlook no matter what she was handed in life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family.
Sincerely,
Kathy (McKinsey) Mentzer

I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mom.  She and your dad would come into the office togther.  They were the highlight of my day. Living on the same street I never knew we were neighbors until they came to the office.
Mom will be greatly missed.

Words can’t begin to express how much we’ve appreciated the friendship of Dolores and Ron. Our hearts go out to their family at this time. We share in your grief, but are encouraged by the knowledge of their eternal life.
We will spend the rest of our days trying to honor the example that this beautiful couple has shown us. Their lives have set a standard for all of us to try to live up to. May God bless and keep their souls.
With loving memories,

My heartfelt condolence to the family. In 2007, when my husband started going to dialysis, I just sat in the waiting room doing  nothing, and Dolores asked me to help her with the puzzle that she started.  Since then we were the best of friends, they used to call us the, “bobsy twins”; we were also called the queens of puzzles. She would say that in the past life we were sisters, because we were so much alike.  We enjoyed the same things, and had so much in common, that at times, we even scared ourselves of how much we related to each other.  When she told us that she was ill, her group of friends at dialysis, Jeanette, Janet, and I felt like a part of us was affected.  My family, and I loved her dearly, and she will never be forgotten, for I always told her that even in death we will be friends forever, and that we will rejoice once again with all our loved ones. Now Ron and my husband are waiting to greet her at God’s paradise.  Once again, my heart goes out to the whole family.  Should you need anything, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Iris Irizarry  (My husband’s obituary is under your mother’s obituary).

Dolores was always a Beacon of Light to those in our Lunch Bunch, always a smile no matter what she was going through at the time. We will miss her dearly. The last time a few of us visited Dolores at Hospice, all she wanted was to go and be with Ron. Well, I believe they are holding hands watching over all of us now, smiling.

To the family of Mrs. Dolores,
                                 My heart goes out to you in this time of grief. I remeber the first time I had met Mrs. Dolores, she was at dialysis with Mr. Ron. She would be in the waiting area with my mom ( Iris ) and all the other girls. I would call them “the dialysis crew”. Everytime I would see her she would always ask how my kids are, hows work? She would tell me how long its taking her and my mom to finish the puzzles. I dont think I have ever met a more sweet, beautiful just such a careing, friendly person. I like to think that My dad (John ) and Ron got in the car and said ok Dolores Jump in. We all have so many Angels to watch over us, You all have one of the best!
                      My Prayers are with you all. If ever there is anything that you may need please do not hesitate to call!!
                                                                                                                       Sincerely,
                                                                                                                    Julia Irizarry ( Iris & Johnny’s Daughter)

Because of as prior commitment, I will not be able to be there Friday morning.  I am so sorry for your loss.  Delores and I grew up together.  We were the best of friends in school (12 yrs.)  The last time I saw her and Ronnie was about a year and as half ago, but we did keep in touch.  Dolores was a beautiful person, never letting her illness deter her from having time for her friends and family.  I will miss her very much.  Good speed.
