To the Delmar family - I read this obit in the paper and I could not believe that she had passed. She was truly a wonderful person, mother, grandmother and she loved her family very much. My heart went out to all of you and prayers and thoughts also went out. She will be truly missed by all. Her memories shall never be forgotten.
