I didn't know Della very long, but she touched my heart as if I knew her all my life. As we listened to Joeys band, Della gave me advice, encouragement, shared her life experiences with me and once told me the kindest comment "mom to mom"; one I will never forget. I loved her immediately. Joey and family, thank you for sharing your mom and your precious dad with all of us. They were a gift to our family.
You are in our prayers, Kelly

I got to meet Adell thru her wonderful family! She became one of my best friends with her cheerful and caring ways. She loved her family and they loved her! I am so lucky to have known her! She was a very strong woman and worked hard to take care of her family. Ernie & I and many more will miss her, but she is back with Hank and her son John. Thank You Adell for always being you!

Della was one of the sweetest people you ever met. She never forgot a birthday, she was constantly giving to others and was always welcoming to everyone. I know that she is in heaven with Hank and Johnny, but she will be missed by many here on earth. I hope Joey, Jan, Kevin, Jonathan and all those who loved her will feel God's peace.
