Gonna miss ya Dolly. You raised some good boys and have a wonderful family that Im privileged to have been part of for the final 6 years of your life. I’ll never forget how spontaneous you were. And I certainly won’t forget the first thing you ever said to me 🙂 lol! Rest in the clouds peacefully “Grandma” Dolly.
I’m really going to miss you, Grandma Dolly. Words can’t express how uniquely special you are. You were truly one of a kind. You had a beautiful heart and loved your family more than anything. I take comfort in remebering your amazing charm and the sound of your sweet laugh. I’m going to miss all your stories, and of course your zingers that could knock anyone off their seat. Thank you for a lifetime of memories that will keep me smiling for a lifetime more. I love you very much and will always carry you in my heart.
Love always,
Amanda

I’m sure your hanging with all your buddies drinking a Margarita on the beach with Tom, Silvia & Gus. Rest in pease my dear! We love you always & forever!!!
I know I haven’t seen you much the past few years, but I’m very thankful that I got to visit you back in May, one last time. You were so happy and funny. I miss you and I love you lots!
Love always, your great granddaughter,

Hello Dolly, huh imagine that, the name of a song. You were an amazing lady. You raised your three sons with all the Love you could give them. You always made time for me when I would come to visit, I’ve known you since I was 15 and you treated me like your daughter. You were so happy for me when I met Frank and brought him to the house to meet you. I remember you telling me how you learned to make those short bread cookies. You gave me the recipe but I still can’t get it right. I know you are probably making them right now in Heaven because I smell them. Rest in peace Dolly, we will always be with you and never forget you.. Love Jerie Hopf
Dolly,
I will miss coming into your home during the Summer and seeing your gorgeous smile, hearing stories of your memories past, and just getting to know you all around. Good people are hard to come by, and you are one of them. You will be missed dearly.
With Love,
Tory.
I visited this lovely woman many times over the years as her home health PT. I was always touched and thrilled at the ‘tea party” she served me at each of the visits. we chatted like long lost friends. she was determined to remain independent and I will never forget her gracious soul.
Dolly, you were very special to me and my family. We love you and you will always be in our hearts. You leave us with so many good memories. Your sense of humor and laugh was terrific. I will never forget you and Lydia singing Louie Louie on our trip to Reno. There were so many good times. I know you are up there having fun with Sylvia, Tom and Gus. Rest in peace until we meet again.
Love,
Marcy
GRANDMA I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING, I WILL ALWAYS THINK OF YOU.
I remember Dolly from when she and my uncle Gus were together. She always took such good care of him and open her arms to the rest of our big family. I was so sorry to hear that she passed away. My condolences to her family..
So sorry for your loss. We will dearly miss her an always cherish the momnts we had with her.
I remember Dolly when she was with my Uncle Gus. And in more recent years I would run into her when she was working at QFC. She was always so friendly and gracious and kind, and was so interested to hear of our family. She so obviously adored my Uncle. I’m terribly sorry for your loss. Please accept my sympathies.
Dolly was so full of life in everything she did. She and I had wonderful talks about her family and life while I did her hair every month when she moved into our neighborhood. I will miss her and I loved Dolly very much. We are so sorry for your loss.
Dolly up in the heavens with Gus again we will all miss you thanks for all the laughs you sick kid Fred
Blessings to all the dizard clan
Grandma, I am going to miss you so much! I just cannot believe you are gone. I am so thankful that we were with you when you departed this earth and took your last breath. You went so peacefully. Thank you for being the BEST Grandma that I could ever have hoped for. You were my gift and I will cherish you forever. I will keep your legacy alive with Rylie and Landen and tell them all of the wonderful times that I had with you. Grandma, this is not goodbye but rather see you later. I love you with all of my heart and my soul. Rest in peace Grandma. I love you Michelle
Mom
God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be
so He wrapped His arms around you and said ‘come home to Me’
You didn’t deserve what you went through,so he gave you eternal rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,He only takes the very best
And when I saw You sleeping,so peacefull and free of pain
I could not wish you back to suffer more again.
I love you my Beautiful Wonderfull Mother, My heart is broken over our loss,Only God knows……
I was so thankful that I got to meet you and spend time with you. Talking to you always made me laugh and you always made me feel welcome and at ease. I wish we could have spent more time together. I will always take care of Eric and make him feel loved. He definitely has your heart.
My heart is heavy today as we Celebrate your life , you were very special to me and I will miss you. Rest in peace and I love you.
Love
Vicki
It was a privilege to know Dolores. She was so kind and loving without judgment. My heart goes out to you Rick and to your family. I am sorry I could not be there to say goodbye.
With Love and sympathy to the entire Dizard family. You will be sorely missed Dolores.
