I am sorry to learn of the demise of my first cousin, Delores Howard Forest. Her father Lloyd was my mothers brother. I have many memories of Delores, her brother and her sisters as well as Uncle Lloyd and Aunt Lucille. I will forward this info to what's left of the Howard family who live in Montana who are also first cousins. I would like to hear more of Mildred and Carol and Shirley. My condolences are with her family.

Linda and family,
I was sadden to hear of Delores (DeeDee) passing. I knew her when I was little I use to ride my bike in her driveway. Then I ended up reconnecting with her when I met her granddaughter Nicole and had a son with her nephew. Small world. She was a wonderful lady. I hope you find comfort in knowing that she is at peace in a better place now. Thoughts and prayers to your family during this difficult time.

My aunt Dolores was a wonderful lady. I have so many happy childhood memories of our family-get-togethers. I can still hear her trying to act stern when telling Lynda and me to quit giggling and get to sleep during our many sleep-overs. In 2009 my husband, Glen, and my mother, Mildred, and I traveled to Des Moines to see our many relatives. When I stepped into Aunt Dolores' house and heard her voice that afternoon, it was like time stood still. God bless her soul. My prayers for peace and comfort go out to her family.

Please accept my sympathy, I am sorry for your family's loss. May you find comfort in knowing our Heavenly Father understands how you feel. Revelation 21:4 "...He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

Our prayers goes out to the family of Aunt Delores Forest. We pray for peace and comfort during this time! We treasured the time we got to spend with her just a couple of weeks ago. She was a precious lady that we loved dearly!
