Deloris and Bill were two of our dearest friends for many years (actually since 1952 when we first met in Tulsa, OK.) You children will recall the many wonderful Thanksgiving Days, New Year Days, and "days at the lake" we spent together in bygone years. Deloris was always a joy to us and others. She was a comedian, an artist, an entertainer, and a wonderful mother, wife and friend. Her rendition of the story of "Herman the Worm" that Deloris taught our young sons still remain one of their favorite memories. We share your sadness of her passing, but we are uplifted by the knowledge and faith that her vitality, youth and charm are now fully restored, and she is rejoicing with her loved ones that have gone on before. May God bless and comfort each of you. We love you.

The last I spoke with Deloris I had a chance to thank her for some things. She would repeat it back to me so I knew she understood what I was saying. She enjoyed giving gifts during the holidays.
Now, she has received the best gift ever... in Heaven, and with her family members that have passed before her.
Out of her pain and resting in peace.
I will miss you.
Love you, your Daughter-n-law.
