To those who knew and loved her I send my condolence. Della was my 1 st grade teacher at MHCS. I remember being her teachers pet. I always got to go outside to clean the erasers. What a great lady to start your education with. I'm sure she will be missed by all her kids and g-kids. I will always have the fondest memories of her. Thank you Ken Alberda

Just a short note to express my condolences to the family at this time and leave a few words of comfort that was a help to me when I encounter the lost of a loved one. Those words can be found in the bible book of Revelation 21:3, 4 that assures us that soon we won't have to experience such pain. My prayer is that this scripture will provide your family with a measure of comfort.
