    Donna, Bob, DeMaris, Ken, and families: I have had you all on my mind and in my prayers ever since I first saw dear sweet Delores' obituary in the Herald Star online last week. Such precious memories I have of my youth living next door to Delores and Ollie on Roosevelt Avenue! Such good times we had, and what wonderful friends and neighbors they were. Precious memories of DeMaris and family coming to visit from Arizona, and Dorothy Ed and Doreen coming down from Akron, too. Awhile back I got out some old home movies and was reminded of our many "music get-togethers" and how we danced in Delores and Ollie's kitchen, and what great times we had. There were movies showing Laurie Ann and Bobby when they were just babies, too. Yes, we have been out of touch over the years, but I just wanted to let you know how important Delores and Ollie were to me back then. The picture of her here on the site is just as pretty and loving looking as she was way back then. I am living in East Liverpool now, and recently had a hip replacement surgery, for which I am still in physical therapy. If I can make it down there on Sunday, I will. I can not come on Monday. Please know that I have you all in my constant thoughts and prayers. Love, Donna Sue
