GUFF DELP Obituary

Guff Bee Delp Guff was born on November 14, 1963, and passed away April 10, 2012. Apart from two years in Camas, WA, she was a lifelong resident of Puyallup and Pierce County. Guff's life passion and love was giving her all to her children, husband, family and friends. She had a brief but fulfilling career as a paraeducator with the Tacoma School District. Her bright, cheerful and compassionate teaching style was appreciated greatly by students and staff. Guff is survived by Jack, her loving husband of 24 years, her wonderful children Matthew and Melinda Delp, Nathan Delp, Brittany and Ronald Hernandez, and Jennifer Delp, grandchildren Jacklynn and LaTausha Hernandez, Da'Voughn Martin and Shane Delp, her mother Guff McCray, siblings Marvin, Gena, Tim and Jesse McCray, Dena and Doug Crane, Lisa and Rory Eurom, many additional well-loved family members and a wonderfully large circle of friends. It is an understatement to say this woman touched each person who knew her. Guff was full of warmth, love, generosity, cheer and compassion. A great mother, daughter, friend, sister, grandmother and a perfect wife. The celebration of Guff's life will be held at Puyallup Foursquare Church on Saturday, April 21st, 2012 at eleven o'clock.

Please watch over me and help guide me, because I'm feeling totally lost right now!! Love and miss you most!!

The following is the letter I wrote to you and stood on stage in front of all that loved you and presented at your celebration of life (only because you gave me strength to share in front of all):
My dear friend and sister:
Who loved me for me,
Who laughed and cried with me,
Who held my hand
We met when we were young and stayed close to each other's side
And we gave each other the strength to go through life
We shared every piece of our lives together and we had lots of great memories that I will cherish forever.
Our promise we made when we were very young that we would grow old together and someday be next to each other on our porches rocking in our chairs I will hold close to my heart.
I know you are with me as I grow older and I ask you to keep my chair next to you in heaven, waiting for when I see you again.
Love and friends forever
Lisa (or as Guff would call me Liza Bell Duck)MISS YOU FOREVER!!!!

Lately I've added "Stefano" to the list of nicknames for your Stevie. Such a classic soap opera villain name, which of course makes me think of how we bonded over the fact that we watched all the same soaps. Memories like that are still so strong that it's crazy to think you're been gone for nearly three years! Not a day goes by that I do not pray for your loved ones, and this will continue as a difficult time of the year approaches.

I'm so thankful for you, and for the amazing daughter you raised who will always be my best friend.

Hugs (one day!) and love (now!)

Guffy, two years have gone by so fast, but so slow on some days. I loved you more each day you were here and still love you more each day since you left. You are, and always will be, the one true love of my life. Thank you for everything that you gave to us all.

Happy 50th birthday my sister...you became my best friend when I was 2 years 9 months and 14 days old I treasure the times we shared and weep for the ones we no longer share...our memories are what keep me going. I am sooo very lucky we shared our lives as deeply as we did. I really miss our conversations and time together and dream of you getting a "hall pass" to spend 1 more hour/day/week/month together. My life so different and empty without you. We are about to meet your grandson very soon I know you are very proud of your children they are amazing adults.I love you more, Dena Ree

oh my auntie..I need you!! You came to me in a dream and told me to stay strong and you were very proud of me!! Lately I feel as if you have been my back bone!! I miss you everyday and hope we are all making you proud!! I see a lot of you in myself, thank you for that! I love you more:)

Auntie Babe-
What a shock it was to me to hear you were gone and time has passed by so quickly. You made me feel like family since the day I met you, the day Marv and Vicki got married. When Paul and I moved back to Tacoma we loved coming and hanging out with you Jack, and for me being so homesick you made the transition so much easier, you gave me friendship, advice, and a shoulder to cry on. I wished my Aunts were like you, I thought Paul was soooo lucky. I remember you and Jack always blasting Rush on the stereo. I never can seem to thank you enough for being my friend and remaining my family through all these years. At Vickis funeral you made a point to tell me how I would always be family to you and expressed your concern over my health issues, and started calling me regularly to check up on me. I was so appreciative, and it meant the world to me and Tyler. I miss talking to you. Please take turns with Vicki rocking my Justin and tell him how much I love him...and give Vicki a hug for me too....Heaven seems to be getting the best people I know....Until we meet again someday soon....I love you like crazy! You are missed by so many, your humor and laughter still touches us!

Love always

Thank you for the rainbow today at the perfect moment, mommy. I love you so much...I miss you more now than ever. I didn't think it was possible. Sometimes I look at a picture of you and just stare, wondering how this is reality that I can't hug and kiss you, or hear your sweet voice that isn't on video. I borrowed your car for a month while my silly Saturn was in the shop. I would occasionally get a breeze of your smell across my face, and I would just sit and breathe deeply, taking it all in and loving that sweet smell. You must have been visiting me and telling me to drive safe. Thank you for that. Since I have been in my own car I haven't had it happen again, but maybe it will. I love you so much, you are my sunshine.

One of my best memories is when we'd all go to the property for Memorial Day Weekend. You, Dena, and Gena would walk all of us (older) cousins down to the view point and we'd skip down the road singing, "We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz..."
I sure do miss you, my Auntie Babe.

Thank you for all that you gave me...our children, their loved ones, our friends, all of the warmth in my life. The confidence to keep going. I love you, my Guff, so much. I miss you terribly but I am beginning to believe I will be with you again, someday. I promise to be good...and true to you...and can't wait to hold you and kiss you again. See you later...

April 10, 2013

I have been thinking about you alot the past year. I pray for your family and hope that they find comfort in your memory. I realized as I was thinking of my fondest memories...they always included you...and I usually start to giggle...We were sure "crazy" in a good way. Love you!

Today,mom, I thought of you while listening to Madonna. You sure liked to blast your tunes while getting ready to go out. Its been nearly 10 months since you passed.I feel like its only been a few days. Where does time go? I have been missing you more and more lately.everything I see or hear either strikes a memory or makes me wish you were here. I haven't gotten to the point where I can smile at those things that remind me of you, I can only cry...I hope there is a time where I can smile at these things cause I know it broke your heart to see me cry... I love you so very much

I can't believe it has been 5 months...Where is your final resting place? We need to have many more conversations we have so much left to say. I am so sorry for missing so much time. Our anniversaries were so close together mine is the 13th...Don't do the math you know my history :) My boys ages don't jive. So thankful we were friends...You introduced me to new things like kool aid & and PB & J on hot dog buns...remember we dipped them. And baby oil is not recommended for sun bathing. I will treasure our last visit always it was so special. It is the only thing that makes this "bearable" Love you! Donna p.s. it is fair time and we have some hilarious memories...Not appropriate to mention now :)

I was going through some things in a bathroom cabinet when I noticed a set of hair rollers, and it suddenly made me remember a time before one of the Les Miserables shows when I was hanging out in the bathroom with you and Jen as you were helping her get ready. The way it hit me made me sad at first, then happy to have recovered a memory I had forgotten until that moment. It's been three months and I can still hear your voice so well. I miss seeing you when I go to your house though I know you are there in spirit. You made such an impact on me though only knowing me for a few years which I think is a testament to the amazing person you are, that you could leave a mark on everyone you meet. I am still praying for your loved ones and keeping your flowers healthy in my backyard.

Just felt like sharing recent thoughts. Miss you!

i love and miss you so much.

I'm sorry to say I didn't know guff passed away until today. I don't get on the internet much and I'm so sorry I wasn't able to give Jennifer Delp the love I could have during this rough time. I've always loved guff so full of life and full of smiles! She always made me feel so refreshed and alive when I was around her. She will always be in my mind.. Guff passed away on my 26th birthday : ( I'm so sorry to her whole family! please stay strong and remember the wonderful times you all had with her. Love you all so very much

My dear Guff...I haven't been able to find the words to express my shock and emptiness of knowing that you are no longer here. I loved every moment I spent with you.

Until we see each other again in heaven...I love you, darlin'.....

Guff, I can't believe you are gone. I am so sorry we drifted apart. You were my BEST friend. All of my happy memories were with you. We became friends in 7th grade. I am so sad I can't even cope I cry all the time...I was so hopeful after our visit on April 9th that we picked up right where we left off. I was thankful to god after all these lonely years I had my friend back. We had an instant connection that was undeniable. I was hopeful that we would pick up where we left off. I am broken overwhelmed with memories "we" shared. I am sad for all the lost years. It was my fault...I was not sure how to handle a family, job and a busy life and manage a friendship. I hope you know how much I love you! I giggle when I think of our skipping school, Tiffanys and ear piercing. I am hopeful you will meet me at the gate when it is my time. I love you!

April 26, 2012

No one can ever fill the Guff shaped space you left behind. You're one of a kind and I really wish you knew how very much I've loved and and cherished you. You were my best friend.

Love you still,

Missing my mom more and more each day. Jacklynn keeps looking at pictures of you and asking when your coming back from heaven. She misses spending time with you. I dont know how to expplain to her that your gone. At your memorial she was looking all over for you. I had so many plans for us, more vactaions, birthday parties, long conversations, me graduating from college to make you proud and being there throught my life. I feel your presence everyday, and I wish I could spend one more day with you just to hear your voice and hug you. I keep asking myself, why did it have to be so soon? Mom, I love you and miss you more then ever....

As a distant sister in-law, words can not express the sorrow I feel, even after not seeing or really being in contact for such a long time, my heart still weeps. I realize how quickly time passes and I often think about the memories of what seems like a lifetime ago. I have missed you and the family greatly, through the years. I am blessed to have had the time and memories of yester-years and understanding of Gods desires to have another angle in his arms. To Guff, Jack and the Kids you will always hold a special place in my heart. I LOVE YOU and Miss you all deeply!!!!

Mom,
I have not been able to find the right words to express what you mean to me. I still dont feel like its real that you are gone, forever. Jacklynn tells me everyday how much she misses you and that you were the best grandma ever. As I sit here and read everyones comments, it brings a smile to my face that you impacted so many people.
I promise to continue your legacy and be the woman/mother you raised me to me. I give you all the credit for the person I am today.

My mother was one of the most amazing people I have ever met and will probably ever meet. She spent her life caring for others; she never put herself before others. She would often go out of her way to reach those who were in need. She was also often a counselor when the times called for it. I knew I could come to her no matter what the reason or circumstance. I love her with all my heart and will truly miss her. Her death took our whole family by surprise, but I am blessed I got to tell her how much I love her nearly every day.

April 19, 2012

"Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed, and very dear". We will miss Babe and we are so sorry for your loss. Love to all the family. Mark, Kris, Taylor, and Devon Crane

Jack, not too long i saw Guff full of life at a grocery store. It is hard to believe that she is gone. My thoughts go out to you and your family, with whom I was able to share a meaningful and important time in your lives. Unfortunately I am in Germany and cannot attend the celebration of Guff's life but my thoughts and prayers go to you. Dr. Duenhoelter

April 19, 2012

Guff , in the short time Miriam and I have been here we are blessed to have had the privilege to be positively impacted by your presence. We moved in across the street from you just a few months ago. I can remember the first day here we were greeted by that big beautiful smile that we came to know as your trade mark smile. I can not remember a day that we saw you without that smile. Even though you had just met us ,you rolled out the red carpet and made us an unforgetable batch of your potatoe soup. We only wish we would have had you here longer so we would have been as lucky as all of the friends and family that were blessed with your presence. You will be missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Rest Peacfully.

Dear Guff,

It's hard to put into words how much you meant to our family. But between you and me...I think you know. Your smile always lit up the room and you always had something funny to say. Our kids were sweet on you for sure!! And they will miss you immensely. As will myself and my husband. Its never good bye, but see ya later...sending you a squeeze my friend.

It still is so surreal that your gone. I dont want to believe it. Having known you for 14 yrs and being around all the time you were like another mom to me. You will never be forgotten. We will miss you always and forever. From now till we talk again. Love you.

Auntie Babe,
I am still in disbelief. It's going to be so different without you here. I promise to keep your tradition of drawing sun/snow pictures going; Mykenzi started drawing them LAST summer, as a matter of fact and I have requested that my friend, Crystal, have her kids start drawing them. I hold you dear, and I will miss you so much!

Auntie Babe, everyday still I can't believe you're gone. Now I don't know who is supposed to keep me in check on all of my shenannigans( because we all know how much of a wild child I am) ;) losing one mom was tragic but to lose two, for lack of better phrase really sucked!!! I know you'll be watching jenny and I live our crazy lives shaking your head about how crazy we really are when you couldn't see us before. I hope you enjoy the show :) unfortunately, but I'm glad mom has some good company to trash talk the hawks with :) love you forever and always, Beccers.

I am so going to miss you, your laugh, and your amazing hugs. You always made me feel welcome in your home and I am grateful for that. My continued prayers are with you in heaven and your family here on earth, I know you are smiling down on them now and always.

You will be missed my friend. When I close my eyes I see your smile and always will remember every moment we spent together. You were like another sister to me and I love you for that.

Mom, I miss you so much. This week has gone so slow in some ways, yet it flew by in other ways. I will always remember your beautiful smile, your laugh, your humor, and most of all, YOU. You took some of my heart with you when you left, but I know that now I have my own guardian angel looking over my every decision, and what a perfect guardian angel you are to have. I know you'll see me get married and have a family one day from heaven. I will be passing on your name :) Love you so so much!

Dear Delp & McCray family, To say I was sad would be an understatement. Although, lifes paths have taken us different directions over the years...The unconditional love and friendship never waivers. The memories that were created will be the ones that last a lifetime. I am so thankful that I was able to visit with her the day before she left us. It was truly a gift from god one that will last me a lifetime. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
