Melanie, It's Mandy Quarles Hauck, I am so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. What a sweet lady she was. Just know that Heaven received another Angel on April 24th. And who knows, maybe Wayne Noblitt was at the gates of Heaven waiting to welcome her in and he is probably telling her how much fun we had on ski trips. We love you and are praying for the family.

We send our love and prayers. I know Wop (Dolores) will be greatly missed by the entire family. I remember her delightful love of cooking many different things for Thanksgiving and Christmas and Christmas presents that were handmade and full of love. Thank you for sharing her with the rest of us who have been influenced by her love and laughter. I know Carrie and Russell Mercer are better people for having had her in their lives.

Louis and family: We were so saddened to learn of Dolores's passing. We enjoyed visiting with her when we would visit Kerry's mom, Patsy, and watching our daughter Danielle play with the twins. She was a dear lady and I know will be missed greatly. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Kerry, Pam, and Danielle Viator
