“I met Della many years ago at church. We were pew partners and sat together every Sunday. I enjoyed our visits and lunches where I would hear all about her family. It was clear to see how much she loved them. Della cared deeply for her family and friends. She was always putting everyone's needs ahead of her own. Her faith and love for God shone brightly in all that she did. She was a dear friend. I will miss her, but will cherish the sweet memories. Deepest sympathy to her family. ♥️ Teresa”
