A classy lady to the very end and always a smile on her face. I am so thankful I got to say my goodbye in June. I will miss visiting with her in Florida each year but will never stop thinking of her.

I am sorry for the los of your dear Delphine. May you find comfort in the promise recorded for us at Isaiah 25:8 where it says "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. Imagine, tears of sorrow will be replaced by tears of joy! Until that time, conditnue to draw strength from God, family and friends.

She was a sweet and caring lady who was like a second mother to me growing up. I have many fond memories, but her cinnamon rolls at Christmas time were the best I ever had. Best wishes to her family.
