I was very sad to hear of Delia's passing. We went to Fremont High together and I last saw her at Patty Perry's 2000 millinium slumber party she and Jim hosted 8 years ago. She was working for the Post Office and popped by for a visit. It was great to see her again and catch up on what everyone was doing. I will keep Delia and all who loved her in my prayers.

I was very sad to here of Delia's leaving so young. I know she will be missed by all her loving family and friends. I will lift up the family in my prayers. Deila and Margie where great girls to hang out with at Hamilton Jr. High. and Fremont High. Lots of fun days to look back on. What great dances and parties. Those where the days.
In 89 or 90 I was shocked one day when I looked over and there she was watching her daughter play socker on my daughters team. the girls where already out of high schol but wanted to play another year. We talked and laughed over old and new times. It was great to see her, and who would have thought that we would meet so out of no where like that. I would love to talk to Margie Birdy so email me. Would like to know more about how you are doing.

Delia and I went to Hamilton jr. high school and we had so much fun in those days. She was always right in with the life of the party and she was full of life ......I have very fond memories of her and will never forget our wonderful times and the friendship that we shared in those crazy 1960 days. We met on the first day of 7th grade and stayed tight all through the Hamilton days. I'm sure she will be well loved in Heaven too like she was here on earth, I will always remember you Delia as being a feisty and fun girlfriend who I was lucky enough to know her the way she really was. God bless her family. I am really saddened by her death at such a young age. We will always love her.

Delia was my sister-in-law for many years even after my brother and her parted ways. She and I traveled our children together back and forth to Colorado on many long trips. Had times of spin outs in Safeway parking lot in Breckinridge Colo. and always laughed about how neither of us could drive in the snow. I have many memories of Delia, and she will be missed greatly. I'll miss her smile and contagious laugh at all the old times whenever we spoke. She has left 4 beautiful children and 5 beautiful grandchildren who in their faces we will always see a part of Delia. So she will always be here with us in not only spirit but in her children and grandchildrens love.
Rest in peace Delia with heart felt love, Berta and Kendall
