I only had the chance to know Della for a short while but the little time I did I could tell what a wonderful person she was. She had a great sense of humor and filled the room with joy every time we met. God bless and may you Rest In Peace.

I would like to extend my sympathy to Della’s family. My husband and I delivered meals to Della for about 4 years. She was such a lovely little lady. She was always so pleasant with a cute sense of humor. I always enjoyed seeing her. I am very sorry for your loss and will definitely miss her.

A great lady! A great Life! I loved her dearly and pray that as I continue on my life's journey I can remember the wonderful example she was up to the end. I have so many happy memories. I know she is enjoying heaven because she enjoyed life so much here with us.
