I am so sorry to hear about Delores. I know how important her family was to her, in the many chats we had when we worked together on the CACE Executive several years ago. I too am a Past-President of CACE and worked closely with Delores for a few years. After she left CACE and initially became ill, we stayed in touch and I know how hard she fought her disease. I remember Delores for her sense of humour and her dedication to duty. She made many contributions to CACE and we will remember her fondly. Simon Leibovitz

sean and leah,i'm very sorry for what happened i know it is hard for all of you but just know that i'm here for all of you anytime love your friend Kelsey.

Hello Dennis and Leah, Sean, Ryan and Daniel: I worked with Delores as part of the Communication Officers' network for many years. I was employed with the Annapolis Valley Regional School Board and of course, she, and along with Norma, her colleague, with the Strait Board. What wonderful memories I have. Delores, always full of spunk, energy, ideas, and sincere dedication to her job - it was hard to keep up with her. How I miss the interaction of that group. I do not think it has been the same since. I have never forgotten Delores' love and caring for her friend Norma, as Norma battled cancer. And the love and caring of her family and community as Delores battled cancer. Though in recent years, I have not seen Delores, she has always been on my mind. I knew she had a battle for her life, over and over again and it always seemed to me she fought the odds. But that was Delores - you don't give in, you give it your all...and then some. As for her family, well Dennis, when the Communication Officers got together for a meeting, the first line of business would be her telling us of all the wonderful things your children were up to, how you were doing and it amazed us really to see how she balanced her workday (which could go well into the night) and her family. She did both so well - with your help Dennis obviously. I am truly sorry that I cannot make it to Delores' funeral. I would like to. However in winter weather and with a husband who is experiencing some serious health issues, it is just to difficult for me...and it is so far away. My thoughts are with you and Delores' extended family. Dennis, you have been a wonderful caring husband and Delores was so proud of you all. My blessings to you and your family - how fortunate I was to have an opportunity to be part of Delores' life, even though far too briefly, Kindest thoughts, Paula Montgomery

Before becoming President, John F. Kennedy wrote a book called

Who doesn't remember Delores' smile - it filled her entire face, and, I can remember very clearly, it came with a twinkle in her eyes. Delores had a zest for life from the very beginning! My thoughts and prayers are with her family and with her many devoted friends.

Dear Dennis & children, My heart goes out to all of you during this time. Delores was an inspiration to all who knew her. Her love, her strength and her faith helped her through all her horrible illness. We must always remember our times together and know that now she is inspiring others elsewhere and she is continuing her journey pain free. My sympathy and prayers are with you. Jackie

I [Marg} first met Delores at the breast cancer retreat. I've been aware of her battle with cancer the second time. We are so very sorry she lost her battle. We know she fought so hard to live for her beautiful family and many friends. May God be with you all at this most difficult time. Marg & Michael Little [Port Hood].

I am a work associate of Lisa's in Toronto, and did not know Delores. However, I do know how much Lisa loved her sister and how much she will miss her. I could always tell how Delores was faring just by looking at Lisa. I feel very sad for the family. Hopefully, your many wonderful memories will help you through these painful days.

Dear Lisa, Al and Christopher, I am so sorry for your loss. If your sister is anything like you Lisa she has bravely fought for as long as she could. She is at peace now and hopefully this provides you and your family some comfort. Please know that you are in my thoughts. Lisa

Please accept my condolences of your wife, and mother, Mrs. Doleres Boudreau.

Dear Dennis and children: I had the pleasure of working with Delores after I left Gander and joined the law firm of Doucet, Kelly & Evans (now Evans, MacIsaac, MacMillan) in 1984. Delores was one of my first secretaries with the firm. She was very industrious. Unfortunately from the perspective of the firm but to her credit she was also very ambitious and saw greener pastures elsewhere with the school board. Our loss was their gain! Although i was aware of number one son being born I was surprised one day when I ran into her at a store and there were children climbing all over her shopping cart. She did not seem to be too fazed by their exuberance Then cancer struck! I marvelled at her courage in fighting cancer while still being highly involved inside and outside of the home. She was a great inspiration for others fighting cancer and other illnesses. The last time I spoke to her it was about baseball. Since I have a passion for baseball her interest in this area also greatly impressed me. I am certainly sorry that your family has loss a wonderful mother and wife but I am sure she has left you with good memories to last a lifetime. I extend the sympathy of my wife, Kate and me. We will say some prayers for the soul of Delores. Wayne & Kate MacMillan, Little Judique

I first met Delores when the Strait Area Chamber of Commerce asked me to design a new map of the area in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the opening of the Canso Causeway. Previous editions were spearheaded by teams of people, but Delores chose to sell all the ads by herself. Even though during this time she had the bad news that her cancer had recurred, she seemed unflappable. I was amazed at her dedication to her family, job and the community in spite of the cross she had to bear. After the great battle with cancer, she is now at peace. We will all miss her presence. She was a real gem.

Dear Nick & family: Lubin and I offer you our sincere condolences in the loss of a beautiful wife and mother.

I was saddened to hear of Delores passing. I had known Delores as a school board member when I served on the old Antigonish District School Board and as a board employee when I later served on the Strait Board. I had always liked Delores and admired her dedication to task. I was very fortunate to attend the Canadian School Board Conference in Victoria, B.C. in 1999 when the Strait Board received its national communications award. Of course it was Delores' award and I was there to see her receive it. It was a proud moment , an historic one as well to have a small board from rural Nova Scotia receive such an award. It was and shall remain a tribute to Delores! Delores' passing will be felt far beyond the boundaries of her home community. We extend our deepest sympathy.

hi, i am Judy White's Father. i only met her once,but judy and her friends talked a lot about her. my deepest sympathy to the family......i know she will be missed by her special friends like Judy and Celeste.

Dear Dennis and Family. We all just want to send our condolences in your time of loss , Delores was a terrific person in many ways and is going to be missed by all who new her. We will keep her, and all of you in our hearts and prayers. love and Prayers Guy & Jennie & Evie & Heidi Landry.

Lisa....I can't express how much my heart aches for you now, knowing the emotional pain you are feeling, as you loved Delores so much. I hope you can feel some comfort that in thought and memory loved ones never really part and Delores plays a special part in your memories that will continue to warm your heart. Lisa, there are many hugs of comfort waiting for you in Ontario. Your friend, Debra

I am so sorry for the loss of Delores. I know what a devoted mother and wife she was. Her family brought her such joy. I knew Delores through the Canadian Association of Communicators in Education and always found her to be a warm and caring person. Over the last few years she had such a battle for her health and although all of you will miss her forever, her suffering is over. My sincere sympathy to all of you.

Dear Dennis and family, my heartfelt condolences on the loss of Delores. I will always remember her and the good times we had at Ashburn Ave. God Bless you and your children. Jennifer

Delores was my baby sitter for a number of years when I was younger. Her positive outlook on life, generous spirit and open heart influenced me at a very young age, and instilled life long values in me that I will always cherish. She was an amazing woman and I will always hold her memory dear to my heart. My thoughts are with Nick and the kids at this time and always.
