Sorry about your lost. I would have been there but I only
found out on today. I will miss seeing your loved one she
was such a pleasant person and I am so glad that I knew

Memories of Mrs. Gilchrist remain in my heart from the days of our acquaintance at Jamestown Festival Park in the 70's. She was truly a beautiful person in so many ways and a joy to know. I pray God will sustain you as you mourn her loss. My sincere sympathy to the family.

Aunt "Dellia" will be greatly missed. I remember all the good times we had as a child coming to visit her and Uncle Robert. My daddy (Percell) couldn't come to Surry without stopping by to see the two of you, even if it was only for a few minutes.
We love you Aunt Dellia, and my love and prayers to the family.
