I am so sorry for our loss of Aunt Delpha, but she lived a good life full of love and kindness. I know all of us have such wonderful sweet memories of Aunt Delpha throughout the years, but thank you Frances for seeing to it that we had the privilege of seeing the family and friends through the wonderful video memorial created and shared. While we mourn our loss, I know heaven is celebrating their reunion. Frances and Glen, Bill and Karen and all of my cousins, please know we will keep all of you in our prayers. God Bless You. ~ Donna Jean, Carrie, and Rileigh
