Dolores and I were in the same kindergarten class at Alamo School. I remember her then as a quiet pretty girl. At some point along the way, she went by Jean and we graduated BHS together. I remember her as one of the most recognized and respected students in the school. I met her again some thirty years later, then a smart beautiful woman, happily married with a grown family. We were both involved at the Galveston Court House at the time and were able to visit and I got to catch up, not only on the Jean from high school but get to know the quite pretty Dolores from kindergarten. I was flattered that Jean remembered me.
Sweet friend from the past. Sharing laughing and joyful days at Ball High School, I send my condolences to those that also loved her. I know she will be safe in the arms of God!
