I will truly miss one of the Great Ladies of Idaho Falls. She was always so pleasant and kind, even when she wasn't feeling her best.
I loved our daily phone conversations. My condolences to Dennis and family.

Dear Randy and Nancy,
Shawn and I were sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Although we didn't know her personally, she sounded like a wonderful mom and wife. We're sure she appreciated all you did for her Nancy, so that she could live in her home until her passing. Please know that we are thinking of you and would do anything you needed or wanted.
Sincerely,
Shawn and Dana

I am so sorry to hear Delia passed. If there are angels, she definitely was one. The time her and I spent together at Gretel's was some of the best I can remember. She was delightful! Thinking of all of you. Cheryl Clayton
