We just heard the sad news about Dolores. We are still out of town and unable to attend the service. Our hearts go out to the whole family. She was such a wonderful person. We have never had nor will we ever have neighbors as wonderful as Joe and Dolores and all the kids. We have very fond memories of living on 49th Ave. and still wished we could have the Polentinis living by us. Enjoy all the great memories and be glad she was your wife and mother. Our thoughts are with you.
