Jerry and Deb Vetter
Aunt Dolores was a special lady .She was so special to us and she loved to do crafts and play cards. I first met her and Clinton in 
Wisconsin  when Jerry took me to meet his parents and it rained for all theee days and we played cards, ate and drank! The last  several years we tried to stay with her a few days on our way back to North Dakota  from Mesa. We would play cards and eat and visit with her and Jerry and Becca and the boys and her dear friend Linda . We loved these times . Our prayers are with you all during this time ! 🙏❤️🙏

Dolores was a wonderful Aunt.  I remember visiting with her at Grandma Bauer’s farm where she stayed in a trailer in her early life.  Then she and Clinton welcomed us into their home and introduced us to highlights around Security CO.in 1971.  Keeping up with Clinton and Delores driving through the mountains took a few prayers but gave us lifelong memories.  We still have a picture of our daughter Maria giving Clinton a look over in our dining room hutch. He finally took off his hat and let her sit in it while Delores served us a picnic luncheon. 
Through the years we shared Christmas greetings, though sometimes it took till Epiphany to get or receive  our greetings.  I have kept all her letters.  She had a beautiful way of writing and sharing. I feel  blessed to have such a wonderful Aunty. I miss you dearly! Barbara Master
