To the Family:
I'm saddened to learn of Delia's death. Billy and Mary, I used to be your babysitter when your mother and mine (Marge MacGillivray)worked at Raytheon. Both of your parents were wonderful to me. Your mother visited with mine when she was dying, and it meant a lot to her.

Sorry to learn of the passing of Delia...she was a friend of my late mother, Mary Ellen Leetch. I fondly remember visiting her at her house. The last time was before she moved to Penn. She showed my mother and I the beautiful flowers she grew...cutting a couple and giving them to my mother. Mary Ellen and Delia had some great times together, always talking about the "old country" and having a cup of tea together. Delia was a wonderful person, sorry for your loss. Nancy (Leetch) Viens
