It's with the deepest sadness that I'm writing this condolence message. Loli, as well as her mother Noemi & father Alfred left us far too soon & there is now a deep gap in my life because of this loss. I knew Noemi since 1955 when I was 8 years old. She's my Madrina from Communion. I knew Alfred since Noemi & Alfred's wedding day. And, I met Loli when she entered Noemi & Alfred's lives. Though we were not related, all three were family to me & to my mother & father. Compadres y Madrina. Viewing the tribute video on this site, I saw a photo of Loli with my father, & as usual he had his guitar with him. My father used to sing to Dolores an old song by Frank Sinatra & the Tommy Dorsey Band: "Aye-Aye-Aye Dolores". One of the lines in the song is: "I was made to serenade Dolores." Loli was such a joy to be with. She & my father had a lot of fun joking around with each other. When she was in the car with us, she'd say "Gilbert, you're driving too fast; I feel dizzy & I'm getting a headache." My father would reply: "Dolores, you just need to take a few deep breaths & you'll feel better." The two of them were always taking friendly jabs at each other. I guess that's what I'll remember the most about Loli, her ability to make us laugh and her strong will when she wanted to make her point of view known. I and my mother & Daddy were lucky to have the Rodriguez' in our lives. -- Loli, I love you and I'll miss our talks, but I'll smile every time I think of you & your mom & dad now together with my parents. I'm certain that you & Daddy are already having heavenly debates. -- To Freddie, we knew each other a shorter time, but thank you very much for the love you gave to Dolores and my second family the Rodriguez'.

Lolie and i were close throughout the years, for the simple reason her mom Noemi and my dad Abel were the youngest out of their siblings.We would go visit Tia Chica ( Noemi) and Uncle Alfred numerous times at there home. Lolie would be there and we would have fun laughing and listening to Tia Chica and my dad joke around. Lolie would always say your daddy is something else.After the passing of my father I always kept in touch with Aunt Noemi because she was the closest person in the flesh of my dad. Lolie would always tell me you can visit mama all you want and share memories of your dad with us and I did. I often called Lolie to see how she was doing. We would end up cracking jokes and remembering how silly my dad was and she started to tell me I had my dads sense of humor. After taking both of her parents in to care for them both she had health issues herself and had a big load on her. Plenty of times I reminded her that we have a big family and that she needed anything to call for help. Well she never did. Uncle alfred went into a nursing home and Tia Chica staying with her. I often reminded her again that I could help her with Tia. But again never took up the offer. After the loss of both parents she became depress. She felt alone , but I encourage her that she was not alone that God was with her and that the Holy Spirit will strengthen her if only she allowed him to. Lolie had health issue and battles throughout her life that would only lead me to believe she was giving up on life.I constantly encourage her that God had a plan and a purpose for her life. I said God could have taken you three times but he didn’t. He is giving you life still for a reason.But I prayed every time after our conversation, praying and hoping that everything I had ever witness to her that she would think on it and ponder on it until it got deep down in her thoughts. My last conversation with her was she wanted to see if I had a video I had posted on a another cousin who had pass away in March that his parents wanted me to do a live video on Facebook. Well I couldn’t find it and I encourage her that I had her moms video. So I sent it to her and she called back crying. She was missing her parents even more so towards the end of her last days. But now blood we are with them and you can walk and run and enjoy our family who have gone before us. Until we see each other again.
Love ❤️
Gloria Ann Del Toro

My Dear Sweet Lollie,
I have so many dear memories that begin to flood my head when I think of our youth. Such as when tia Noemi would drop you off at AMA’s daycare house with a box of lucky charms. And the rest of us just sat the table eyeballing that box. While AMA told us this belongs to Lillie but on the days you didn’t come ama’s boy did we tear into that box.
And as we grew into our adult years you came to visit my brother Paul and I while we lived in N.O. For Mari Gras. Paul dressed up as a Dr. and you as a nurse I’m not sure what happened but the crowd in the street was calling for a Dr. or a nurse and we were looking around. While everyone was looking at us I guess that’s were you and Paul’s dream in the medical field began.
I truly loved the times you would visit me while I worked at Astro and Water-Water but the best visit was when you surprised me in Vegas. And I told you let me show you how to gamble. Boy did we laugh
But I could go on and on with my memories of you what I’m going to miss the most about you is your laughter and warm smile. Fly fast and high into the heavens Prima rest in peace, don’t forget to save a dance for me. To Freddy and the Garcia family I send you my condolences may god watch over you and give you the strength you need at this time.

Had some good memories of summers at Ama’s house throwing blankets over our heads and pretending to be queens. Family was important to Delores and you will be missed. You fought a good fight Lolly and your mom and dad are proud of you. Rest in peace, queen.
