I am truly in shock at this moment. I just found out about the passing of Del. Del was 1 of my good buddies at the SCGC. Even though I no longer work there, I wd still call Del about my bill. She was 1 of the nicest, sweetest people you ever wanted to meet. Martin family take comfort in knowing she is with her Heavenly Father. RIP my good buddie. I will always remember you.
