Delcie, you were a true Southern girl in all aspects, you were so kind in many ways...I will never forget your hospitality, friendship, or generosity. You always had a way with words and you made me laugh, even when I didn't want to... Tears roll down my cheeks as I write this tribute. This is the woman who literally saved me during Hurricane Katrina & nursed me when my own Mom was sick. Delcie, with your Southern Charm and your witty ways, you always made me laugh, you humbled me when I needed it, and you were a great friend to me from the moment we met. You have made a lasting impression and I will never forget you. I look forward to seeing you again...and I know that I will. I hope that when I finally see you again, you will be in your camper in the Great Hills of NC! I love you, Amy
