I am so sorry for your loss- Dad, Judy and Linda. I have so many memories of Grandma and Grandpa. Most of my memories revolve around the lake and Whispiring pines. My love of camping and fishing are becauase of them. I thank God everyday for having them in my life. I have passed this love along to my girls and I am so grateful that they remember her when they last got to see her back in '96. Grandma Oswell was the only grandmother I had in my life and I remember her as a wonderful grandma and will never forget what she meant to me. I'll love her always and the rest of the family also. I have never forgot what you all did for us kids. (when we were younger.)God Bless you all.

Love, Cathy

To the family of Delphi. Many memories! The Carlton Crew; Delphi & 'Snowball', Fran & Les Granley, Nancy & Bob Smith. Bob, my father, is now living in New Brighton and talks on and on about the fun they all had and wants to wish the family his condolences.

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Mom,

We had such a wonderful time on our 21st annual Mother's Day trip-shopping, sightseeing and eating-as usual. Judy, you, and I never traveled far but we always had so much fun. You could wear us out shopping.

You were a special mom. I'm glad we could spend so much time together over the past years. We have a lifetime of memories.

What a great lady. You'll be missed by so many.

I miss you Mom. Love,

Linda and George (your favorite son-in-law)

Judy, Linda & Jerry,

I cannot put in words how sad I am at the passing of your Mom. Your loss is my loss also. I loved your Mom very much; she was not only a wonderful person, she was a wonderful mother-in-law and grandmother. I will miss not seeing her anymore, my deepest sympathy.

Dear family of Delphi, I would like to express my sympathy to the family. I worked with Delphi at the Cloquet Hospital for several years before she retired and always looked forward to coming to work with Delphi at the helm. She was a wonderful nurse and a wonderful person. I am sorry not to be able to be at her services on Thursday. Sincerely, Bethel Anderson

Jerry, Linda and Judy: May God's blessings be reassuring to all of you and comfort you at this time. we were so sorry to here the news of Delphi's passing. My cub scout Den Mother. There are many memories of Round Lake and the Cabins at Whispering Pines and the quest for the raising of the flag every day between your cabin and ours. Jerry, my wife Cynthia is from jacksonville, Florida. What a busy place, we visit there occasionally and play some golf there. I recall, Delpi did enjoy golf. May God comfort all of you at this time.

To the family of Delphi: My deepest condolscences to all of you. I am the daughter of Clarice Broman, a friend of your moms from Nursing school and all through their life. My mom and Delphi remained friends right up until the end, and my mom would always speak very highly of Delphi and what a sweet, kind, loving woman she was. Unfortunately my mom is not with us any longer either, as she passed away this past February 2nd, but I know that she would want me to let you all know that she acknowledges your mothers passing and welcomes her with open arms, to be with her and Howard and my Dad again. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. With Heartfelt Sympathy,
