Aunt Del was a force to be reckoned with in her own right. She lived life to the fullest and cared for those closest to her with a mother's love. She was one of the most thoughtful women I've ever known! I will always remember with love our times together at the annual Portuguese Festival when I was a child. I will miss her always!

Aunt Del will forever be remembered in our hearts as a thoughtful, feisty, independent woman! She loved animals, bunnies in particular and always remembered family members with a smile, a card or a homemade afghan. She is the last of her generation and I for one will miss her terribly.
With much love, say hi to Mum and Nana for me.
Your great-niece, Amy
