Not sure what to say?

Heaven gained a precious angel. Dell - our great aunt, teacher and willing after school caregiver taught us in school and in life about kindness and generosity of spirit. I am thankful to have her and our family of angels reunited to watch over us.

My Aunt Dell was very precious to me. She’s with my Uncle Joe now. I can just see his sweet smile when he saw her entering heaven.

So sorry for the loss of your precious mother. Remembering you all in my thoughts and prayers. It is so fitting that the burial will be on the date of her 100th birthday.

Mrs. Mabe was one of my favorite teachers at Laurel Elementary . I had her in seventh grade. I am sorry for your loss.

What a special friend Dell was.I began teaching science with Dell in 1974 and she was a right hand on many sixth grade trips to Washington, DC.May the Good Lord hold her family tight and grant them peace.
