Our deepest symphony to hear of the passing of your mother, Dr. DeVelin. Although we did not know your mom, she had to be a wonderful mother who raised her son to be a very caring and dedicated Doctor. May your good memories help carry you through this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to the family of Anna Steidle DeVelin. Anna was a St. Paul's and CCHS school mate of mine. She was a quiet, but very funny young lady, and we were good friends during our St. Paul's days! So very sorry to hear of her passing.
