I was so saddened to read of Delpha’s passing. She was such an amazing lady, and when I worked in Lame Deer she used to invite me for coffee and to check out her latest beading projects! She was the kindest, most talented woman I knew and I treasured her friendship. Deepest condolences and prayers to her family. Rest in peace my friend.
