To the Hartl family & loved ones, I can't express enough my deepest sympathy in the loss of Dolores. Even though she was my neighbor for just a short time at Homestead Place, what a wonderful, loving & caring person. We shared alot of laughs together. I will always treasure her smiling face & the precious Christmas gift she handed to me. She is @ peace now with her husband. I know the richness in your faith, hope & love that will guide you through these difficult times. Peace be with all of you, Patti Westrem
