Delia will be greatly missed. We were all very fond of her.She was always happy to have us visit and always so interested in everything. It was so sweet to see how excited she was when the babies came. What a coincidence it was that she and Ivan lived next door to my mom's cousin all those years in Hawaii. I know Hazel considered her a best friend. Our deepest sympathy and thoughts are with you Ruth and all the family. Love, Trudy, Dick and all Ecker the family
