My condolences to the Foster. I worked with Dolores at Arden House and went to the gas station on Whitney Ave with her a number of times. I used to be owned by my Dad and she knew it was a special place for me. We used to talk about the Hamden, the memories of my father and other things and she was a blessing to me. When I got married I and had my daughter I would come in to see her and other staff members and she always was thrilled to see us as I we were her. My she rest in peace. Dolores when I feel the sun I will know it is you kissing your family and myself and the rain and snow are your tears, together letting us know you are with us always. I wish we had stayed in touch so that you could have gotten to meet my other 4 children and know that you are seeing them now. Love you always.

Aunt Dolores was a wonderful person. We greatly appreciated the companionship and support she and Nate provided our mom & dad, Mary and Pat, in their later years.
