Dear Dawn, I was saddened to hear of Delilah's passing. Being a first year teacher in third grade, I really did not know what to expect. Your Mom was so kind and nice to me. I loved her down to earth friendly ways. She will be missed. I will not be able to attend her service, but I wanted you to know how much I cared for her and you. May God protect you and the family during this time of separation.

I am so so sorry to hear about Delilah. I loved seeing her especially when she got to come in to vote. Will surely miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family.
