I was one of Ms. Delphine's caregivers at Arden Courts. I would like to give my deepest condolences to her family. I was crazy about Ms. Delphine after the very first time I met her. She will truly be missed.

The pool team is left with fond memories of Dell cheering us on at the state tournaments. She went for many years and was a real trooper and tolerated some of our behavior. She will be missed.

Auntie Dell was like a second mom to me growing up. I spent a LOT of time there. My own children never needed to be reminded of who Aunt Dell was - she left lipstick marks on their faces whenever we visited so they always called her "the orange lipstick" auntie. She was a very special person. We will all miss her.....
