Family of Delora,
I have known your mom all my life and was named after her, she was a wonderful lady who live her life like a Christian and that's something to be proud off. Our family was friends and it was always a joy to meet up with them, mostly at church. I know you will miss her deeply but are comforted by knowing you will be with her on the other side. She was loved by all my family and my mom tried to keep up with how she was doing and keep us all informed. I pray that you will find comfort through prayer and by knowing how precious she was to soo many. Thinking and praying for you:
