Ardath was a wonderful friend and mentor during our days together in the (now defunct, sadly) Clark County Cultural Consortium. I absolutely adored her, and am grateful for her presence in my life and in our town.

Mi heart-felt sympathies are extended to all Dellapina children on the death of their lovely mother. She has been a beloved friend if mine since she first told me (tongue in cheek) 50 years ago that it was such a shame that I couldn´t ever form an opinion. I have treasured her friendship ( and that of her whole family) for many years.
