Gail I will miss Mrs Delma. I first met her in 21 when we were in Cane Creek together. She was such a lovely Christian lady even as she was in so much pain and not able to do like she wanted. She was the kind of person you just always stay in touch with and we did. When I talked with her 3 weeks or so ago she knew her time was very near and was ready. She will be missed and was so happy to have moved in with you when she came home from her last health care facility. I truly know that made her last days more enjoyable. Again she was a very lovely Christian lady and ready to go to be with her God. The world would be so blessed to have more people like her in it.
Again so sorry for such a great loss

Granny, was how Delma was introduced to me years ago by my wife, Jennifer. It's what I called her in all conversations. She most assuredly lived up to that title as she always treated me like family and wasn't shy about saying what's on her mind. She is loved very much and I will be missed. I am grateful for the times we had.
I did not know if I knew who this was. I did not recognize the name and I read that her daughter was Ginger and realized that I knew her. I am so sorry for your loss Ginger and Gail. I only knew Ginger and Tim ...... I didn't realize that Terry had married one of her daughters. Terry was in the grade below me in school. I am so sorry for the loss of Terry also. My prayers are for all to have peace and comfort.
