So Sorry for your loss. I went to New Berlin High School and was in the same class as Tom. I lived on the other side of Moorland Road - on San Mateo Drive.- from your home on El Dorado. I think my Dad and Dolores knew each other, or at least lived in the same neighborhood years ago. My Dad called her Peewee Gavin. Again, I'm sorry for your loss.

I always thought of my aunt daily. That won't stop. Be at peace Aunt Dolores. My guess is you are tending to the garden of your dreams and beaming in your reunions with Jimmy, Uncle Ed, your parents, sister, other family and friends. Love, Jeff
