Dolores as I sit here and I write this, it brings tears to my eyes. We have so many memories we had so many laughs. We knew each other since we were kids. I couldn’t thank you enough for always being by my side. I will never forget all our funny times all our laughs all are dumb things we did and most of all I will never forget you you were the most beautiful person I ever came across you were such a good friend. I will never forget that. Thank you for always. Every mammogram I ever had. Thank you for always being there for me over the phone talking me through it. You know how much I hated to go and do it, but you were always there for me. thank you for coming to all the parties that I had. Thank you for making the effort. Thank you for opening your eyes when I came to see you in the hospital and telling me that in our bikinis in the pink and black matching ones that we had no waist and we look like SpongeBob thank you for making me laugh one last time. Thank you for all our double dates. Thank you for all our secrets Dolores you have no idea how much you’re missed. You were like a sister to me. You taught me so many things thank you. I love you and miss you my sweet, beautiful friend.!
My beautiful cousin became my cousin through my mom’s marriage to my then stepdad. Somewhere along the way, the Molinas became more than extended family, they became our family. I can’t really explain when it happened or how it happened so naturally, but it did. Love made us family long before anything else did.
I grew up watching Lola go to school and work so hard, and watching her carry herself with so much beauty, style, warmth, and grace. I can still picture her beautiful hair, her smile, her laugh, oh how we laughed! The way she made people feel seen and as infectious.
There are people in this life who leave an imprint on you without even realizing it, and She was one of those people for me.
I told her once that part of the reason I went into the field of helping others was because of her. Watching the way she cared for people, the way she moved through life with compassion and dignity, made me want to become someone who could do the same. She inspired me simply by being herself.
What meant the most to me was that she never once made me feel like I was anything less than family. She included me, loved me, and embraced me fully. That kind of love stays with a person forever.
I admired her then, and I admire her even more now. She carried so much with grace, even the things no one else could see. I don’t think I’ll ever fully understand why life can be so unfair to such beautiful souls.
What I do know is that I was lucky. Lucky to be loved by her. Lucky to love her. And grateful that a piece of who she was will always live on in the people she touched.
My heart goes out to Amaya, Herminia, Chuy, Marko, Diana, Chavis, Fran and Star, as well as the rest of the family. I’m so deeply sorry you are walking this painful walk. I carry you all in my heart always.

I met Dolores while working at the County of San Diego. I became her supervisor and we became close friends. We shared the goodness of Jesus and when she became ill, we encouraged each other. She never complained and always said, "God is with me!"
When I moved from San Diego, CA in 2019 back to Alabama, we kept in touch by phone and texts. She was one of the most positive people I have ever known. She will forever live in my heart!
May God bless and comfort Amaya (her pride and joy), her family and all who knew and loved her. She was a joy!🩷
