Rita and Family, I’m very sorry to hear of Delila’s passing. She was such a sweet lady and I always enjoyed visiting with her and Harold when they’d come up to Uncle John and Aunt Erna’s. They were such a fun couple. When her and Aunt Erna would get in the kitchen, the food was always fantastic too. I know you all will miss her dearly. My sincere condolences to each of you.
