Gordon and Stephanie send prayers for you all at this time. We didn’t know this sweet lady but she sounds like she was a delight. We do know how Mike took care of her and that is what children are supposed to do. God says to honor our mother and father. We pray for peace for all the family.

I was privileged to know Delma through my sister,Jenelle Harvey. She and Delma met while students at Grace Hospital and remained lifelong friends.
Delma had a beautiful laugh and a very kind heart.
I enjoyed every minute I spent with this wonderful friend. She will be missed.
My condolences to her family that she loved dearly.
