Delrita I will never forget your smile you would light up a room whenever you entered. I was just a young girl always wanting to hang out with you and Charmaine one of your best friends from the 8th ward, I just wanted to be big girls like you'll. I really admired you. We lost Charmaine last January to Covid she never forgot you and we always looked at our old pictures from Shaw Elementary School and around the way. Rest Delrita we will always love you and will see you again.
From the neighborhood, Charmaine, Rosalind, Henry, Cookie, Zelda, Lisa and Charles.
