I am so sorry for your loss - I just found out this week that Delores had passed away. We go back a long time - I graduated from Port Neches High School and she graduated from TJ in 1953 - we played softball against each other for our respective churches. We then worked together at Gulf Oil/Chevron--retiring in 1992. She was a very dear friend and I loved her very much. Lillie Belle Humphrey Duhon
