To the Garvey family, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother Delores. We had a lot of good times working at Strawbridge & Clothier.
She was a kind loving woman who I admired very much. My prayers are with you during this sad time. No doubt she is Heaven’s newest angel! 🙏
Dolores was a lovely lady. She was always attending Mass, either at St. kevin’s or St. Joe’s in Sea Isle. I am glad I k ew her. I am so sorry I missed her Mass. I didn’t know she had passed away. Our condolences to her wonderful family.
To all of you guys, I loved your Mom. She was as cool as a fighter pilot, and she had to be, raising all of you. She was always optimistic, funny, positive…a model adult for her kids and grandkids. She was a great Aunt, always interested in what you were doing and how your family was. She married into the Garvey family, which took something. We here in St Louis are thinking and praying for you , your Mom doesn’t need any prayers, she already did her good work.
To all the Garveys: I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom, she was a very special person. I have many fond memories of her and she will surely be missed. My deepest sympathies.
I am so sorry for your loss. The Garvey family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for you and your families Loss
It was my pleasure to meet Dolores as a fellow golfer at Wildwood Golf and Country Club.She was gentle, kind, always friendly and upbeat. We did not know each other well but it was a delight when we discovered that we had family members who worked together. We grieved with Dolores when she suffered the loss of beloved family members and we now find solace knowing that she grieves no more but is joined with the loved ones who predeceased her.
Jim, Joe and family, my condolences on the loss of your mother. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jim, Joe, and family,

My Aunt Dolores was a very remarkable woman. One of great strength, determination, and a very positive and upbeat spirit. It takes a special woman to bring 6 fine men into the world. My thoughts and prayers are with all my cousins and their families. However, she is not gone, she just has a new address and one that spells eternal bliss. Heaven is celebrating an extraordinary new tenant. I think she will find the accommodations eternally better than any thing she has seen on this earth. She is well deserved of the crown of life. She will be very missed by anyone that was blessed to know her.
My condolences to you Terry (and Garvey family and friends). May God give you the peace that only He can give during this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with the Garvey family.
I have to tell you that I can’t help thinking how happy my mom must
be to see her BEST friend again!
