Sincere sympathy from the Elder/Grace families.
So many special memories of visits and picnics with the Delp family.
I attended several lunches that Joyce had and mini reunions .
Olive Lerch was my grandmother, Louise and Dick Elder were my parents.
I last saw Aunt Luave at the viewing for Joyce and she knew me right away. Or at least she said I just looked like my Mother. She also told me that I drove too far from Greensburg!
A very special lady.
You have our sympathy.
Karen Grace (Elder) and family
