DeLanna and Family
I was so sorry to learn of your Mothers passing even as I was reading messages here for my Mothers death In March.
I was always impressed with your Mothers ability to stay cool and have fun, and that she never stopped her education. That inspired me.
She raised 2 great kids and I know she was a great wife too.
I will think of her and all of you every time I see this site.
Praying you find peace as she did and know I remember our times together.
