Condolences
To the family of Dolores
To the family of Dolores Townsley, I send my sympathy in the loss of your mother. I've had a personal acquaintance with your mother and father for many years, as they attended the church where my son was their Pastor and remains Pastor of the church. Your mother was a very special lady and knowing her was a priveledge. May God be your comfort during this time of sorrow. Eunice Wagner
