Dalena Svehla Obituary

Dalena,
Its been 23 years since you left us and I remember your beautiful smile, like it was yesterday. My 21 year old daughter is the very proud owner of your wardrobe, thanks to Lona and your mom. I really enjoyed seeing all of your clothes. They brought back so many memories. We often talk about how different our lives would be if you were still here. Love you.

Hey Dee,
Another year is about to pass, it seems like life is just flying by. My family is doing great. The girls are so big. They remind me of us, all the time. I talk about you to the kids. You are very much in my home and life always.I miss you so much one day we can have a long awaited face to face conversation again.

love ya so much,
Cory aka squachy xoxoxo

life is full of crazy twists and turns, and i'm glad you were there for a while, we miss you dear old friend, you are loved.

Just thinking of you and how much I miss you. I enjoyed the time that we had together when we were young.

I only knew you briefly from times shared with Lona. You were my drinking buddy on New Year's 1995. You always had such a great personality and always made us laugh! You were taken from us too soon but God had other plans for you. You did what you needed to do here on Earth now you have special work to do in Heaven with the other beautiful Angels just like you!

I just lost another friend. Im sure he's up there with you. Makes me sad and glad at the same time chica. I still have ur picture in my bedroom. luv ya. miss ya lots.

Hey babe just thinking of you and missing you. Riley and Reese are getting big. I talk to the girls about you all the time and the other day me and riley were in the car and she was chatting in the back seat I asked her who she was speaking to and she says aunt dee dee I freaked out but then a joy came over me just knowing your here watching over me and my girls. I love you and miss you so much. I need you everyday in my life and I know you will always be with me.

Miss you Dalena. How could anyone ever forget you. You were a breath of fresh air.

Sweet angel in the sky.. how I miss you and think of you often. I do wish that you where here by my side. I love you.

Dear Dalena,

August 16, seven years ago, my daughter Michelle went to be with our Lord. Soon after, Grandma Lileks went to be with our Lord. Then you, Dalena went to be with our Lord. Yesterday, August 17, my mom went to be with our Lord. Dalena, pray with me to help me to continue to serve our Lord. I hurt so much. I want so badly to be with you all, yet I must respect the gift of life and continue to do our Lord's work down here. Ask God to give me strength.

Happy Birthday Sis I miss you more and more everyday. You are always in my heart and my thoughts. I see Riley getting bigger, and when I see her I just imagine when we were kids and all the great things and fun we had.I sware its like your there helping me be a better mommy and helping me through everything. I Love You so much, and gosh were really getting old.

Happy Birthday to you sweet Dalena.. I can't believe that it's been six years since I celebrated your birthday with you. Cheers to you today. I love you forever.

Thinking of you sweet one. I love and miss you so much. Not a day goes bye that I don't think of you. It's so strange not having you around me anymore, wish you where here to share my life with me. Love you with all my heart.

Can't believe its been 5 years already seems like yesterday when I last spoke to ya. We'll catch up on old times when I see you again. I never forgot u and will always be in my heart

I miss my friend... love you.

Hey There Dalena,

Tomorrow is Easter and here I am on the planet earth. (SMILE)

Psalm 5:7 says; Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.

That is His Word to us on the earth. WOW! What it must be like to be in heaven with Him.....I will be there with you, Michelle and Grandma Lileks when it is God's time.

For now, Dalena, I continue to Worship Him and Do His Will in everything He shows me to do.

I love you!

Happy Resurrection Day!

Dear Dalena,

I know somehow you are able to acknowledge our positive thoughts.

Today at 9:30 am, six years ago, Michelle took her last breath here on earth and went in the Presence of God.

I wrote in the last letter that it was five years ago. I have no idea why I thought it was five years, after I wrote that, I read in Leviticus 20:5, says: "But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit. In this way your harvest will be increased. I am the Lord your God." Yeah, I thought that was so cool Dalena.

God is showing me so many wonderful, awesome things. I am so happy that you are with Michelle and Grandma Lileks. I love you all and long to be with you all!

Please keep sprinkling the gold dust from the streets of heaven to us!

Today, I am focusing on Daniel 12:3, says: "Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever."

Wondering, did you get to work on creating the new planet with God and His Angels that the scientists recently discovered? Love you! (SMILE)

Your Sister-In-Christ,

Dear Dalena,

Next month will be five years that Michelle went to Heaven. I am still on the earth, missing Michelle, you, the family.

How much longer until we all reunite with one another? My heart hurts, as I am sure, everyone who loves you still has an aching heart and longs for your presence.

Dalena, you have such a beautiful name, wondering if you still have your name or has God change it.

We are wondering and wondering and waiting and waiting to be with you, Grandma Lileks and of course my daughter Michelle.

Ask our Lord to continue to keep us strong in our Lord, to continually have us focus on Him and His Will for us.

Please keep sprinkling the Gold Dust from Heaven to all of us!

Your sister in Christ,
Joanne

Happy Birthday sweet angel.. I will be there today to visit you. Miss you and love you with all my heart.

All of my love to you.
Forever in my heart

Happy Birthday sweet Dalena...

This is now your 4th birthday that we have celebrated, without you. I was driving to work this morning, and I played all the songs that reminded me of you.. I am sad today, that your not with me today. I know that your looking down at me and smiling. I see your face all the time in my mind. Me, Lona, and your Mom will be there today, to see you. Hugs and Kisses... Love you

There has not been one day in the past three years I have not thought about you. I have never missed somebody so much in my life. I miss your laugh, your smile, everything about you. I will never forget you. You remain close to my heart. I love you and miss you very much.

Merry Christmas sweet one. I miss you so much. I wish that you could have been here this Christmas. It makes me sad, that time has passed on and your still not here. I think of you every day that passes. And my heart is still not mended. I love you will all my heart..

Happy belated birthday!!! Lona, me and your mom were there to Celebrate your birthday at the cemetery. I miss you with all my heart. Especailly in the summer I think of all the times in your pool, picking flowers and endless hours of just laughing over nothing. All my memories remain close to my heart. I wish that you were here.



I love you

Kellie

My heart is broke and my eyes are filled with tears. I need my friend to be here not away, not in heaven but here on earth. I don't know why god took her, it was not time for her to go. The path to heaven is a long from here, she is now an angel with wings of white and a smile bright. always she will be with me and fill my spirit with love. One day we will meet again and color our hearts again with rainbows. love you Dalena.

I keep having dreams of you, almost everynight lately. You are not talking in my dream, just standing there. I know that you are telling me your okay in heaven. When I wake up from these dreams, I feel like I spent the whole day with you. And that is what I miss the most, is hanging out with you. I miss your smile, I miss your voice, I miss your silly ways. I miss my best friend, I love you Dalena forever.

I miss you more and more everyday sweeet one. One day will meet again. Not a day goes bye that i don't think of you. Your my shining star in the sky...



I love you



Kellie

Hey SASSY GAL, it's just so unbelievable how much i have you in my mind. There's times that I wonder if the reason for this is for communication? It's so wonderful to read how much all your family & friends love you so much. You were the best(still are the best in our hearts). Thanks to all for sharing all those beautiful pictures of Dalena.

Hi Dalena,



I will try to post some younger pictures of you soon. Meanwhile, Happy Resurrection Day Jesus. It must be awesome Dalena to be in the Presence of Jesus celebrating that He Arose from the tomb. May we all rejoice that He Lives and by free will He is able to live within us. Praise God!

Hey,it would be really great if we could share pictures of Dalena. If anyone has any they would like to share, PLEASE put them on this guestbook!Thank you!!!

Hi Dalena-

Well I can't believe it's been two years. I just wanted to let you know that Jeff and I miss you, love you, and of course, think of you often. I know you are good and I hope you look down on us every once in awhile and smile.

We love you much.

Dalena,

2 years today you are flying with the angels in heaven. I miss you so much and wish that I could see you. I can't belive that it's been 2 years since the last time I seen you. I love you with all my heart..

Hi Dalena,



I had mention that I recently went to a funeral. "I can only imagine" was performed at that funeral and Michelle's funeral. I would like to share the lyrics that was written by Bart Millard.



I can only imagine what it will be



When I walk by Your Side



I can only imagine what my eyes will see



When your Face is before me



I can only imagine



Surrounded by your Glory



What will my heart feel



Will I dance for You Jesus



Or in awe of You be still



Will I stand in Your Presence



Or to my knees will I fall



Will I sing hallelujah



Will I be able to speak at all



I can only imagine, I can only imagine



I can only imagine when that day comes



And I find myself standing in the Son



I can only imagine when all I will do



Is forever, forever worship You



I can only imagine, I can only imagine



I can only imagine, when all I do is forever, forever worship You.



Happy Valentine's Day Dalena.



God Bless,

Hi Dalena,



People think it may be crazy to write to you. All we want to do is share our thoughts with others. May God always bless your friends that created this web-site. For everyone that has a love one who has left the flesh body still loves that one and misses that one.



Having you with Michelle and Grandma Lileks gives me so much comfort in my heart Dalena.



You and Michelle have a tremendous bond with your Grandmother which the Lord let me see, because of that connection I find so much comfort that the three of you are in Heaven.



Yet, we all still hurt and try to fulfill the purpose of God while we are in our physical bodies.



I recently went to a funeral, a friend said to celebrate for he is in Heaven and with God's Glory, he is sprinkling the streets of gold dust to us.



I can only imagine how much beauty there is in Heaven and one day we will be with you all. Meanwhile, keep sprinkling the Gold Dust from Heaven. We love you.



God Bless,

I miss you Dalena

Love you,



Kellie

Merry Christmas to All,



D..Deuteronomy:He is Mosess'voice

A..Amos:The arms that carry us

L..Luke:He is God, Man, Messiah

E..Ephesians:Our glouious treasure

N..Nehum:Our strength, our shield

A..Acts:He is the fire from heaven



Dalena.. it must be awesome to be in the presence of the Almighty on his birthday, for us here on earth we wish Jesus a very happy birthday. Let us keep our memories of love ones forever in our hearts.

I love you, miss you Merry Christmas

Hello,



Happy Thanksgiving! Just a glimpse of Heaven is all we have on earth. I know, Dalena, you are looking on the ones that are endear to you with perfect love. How awesome that must be!!! For I truly believe once we enter the Gates of Heaven all the negative emotions are wiped away. For there are no more tears in Heaven. I am so thankful that Michelle and Grandma Lileks are with you in the Holy Presence of our Lord Christ Jesus. May we all be grateful for every new day we have and may we continually remind ourselves that "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."



In the Vine of Christ,



Joanne

Hey girl,

How are you doing up there. I feel weird writing in this guest book too you. Well it's been a very long time since the last time that we actually saw each other. I really didn't have a chance to really, really get to know you but I think about you once in a while. Take care up there SASSY GAL. Don't forget about your freinds down here.......

Hey baby girl! Just been on the computer for hours so i decided to write a little. Dont get much of this time. Lisa's baby shower was yesterday. i was decorating and thinkin about you. It seems like we were just there at mine not too long ago. That was 4 in a half years ago!! God time goes by. Me your mom and Grama Dee went over to Rich's house last week. I know you were there laughing! Your mom just cracks me up. I never in my life noticed REALLY how much you looked like her. Now I see you so much in her. Robbie calls her Auntie Mandy. Its so cute. Ii know you probably already know all this anyway. I feel like since I quit smoking in the past two months I havent talked with you much cuz I'm not sitting on the patio at midnight when it's so peaceful outside. I think about you all the time. That will never go away.I know you were at my wedding. I acually got my pictures back and there is a picture in the church with this circle above my head.And another one at the reception in between Orlando and Leanna. i know it was you, theres no doubt.I'll be an official hillbilly in about two weeks I'll be living in Mantino. Aint that somethin.Thats funny. Well I love you sweetie. xxxxoooo

Hello to All,



I truly believe that Dalena wants everyone that loves her to live life to its fullest. She is looking down with so much love and one day we will all be reunited with her forever.



Life is so short, we must make the best of it and celebrate that it was a blessing to know her. She wants the people who love her to be happy and not sad. Remember, it is us who live on time. I believe she is able to be with the ones who are dear to her. How? By every thought you have of her, she knows.



Everytime you think of her and smile, she is smiling back with you.



God Bless You All.



Joanne

hey d....geeze it;s almost august...it's been too long...just thinking of ya

Dalena,



Happy Birthday to you sweet one, as you know I was there to see you. It was a sad day, I wish that you were here with me. So much has changed in my life and I know that you are looking down and smiling with me. You still remain to come into my dreams and tell me that you are okay. I can't believe how fast time has gone, it's extremly weird. I still want to pick up the phone and call you, and tell you everything. I know that you were there with us the day that Lona got married, it was hard to be back in the church again. It brought back many emtional memories, but we were all there for a good cause. Each every day I miss you more and more, and I do wish that I could come to heaven and get you and bring you back. I know that one day agian I will see you and when I do I'm going to give you the biggest hug ever.



I love you Dalena with all my heart and soul...



Love always,



Kellie Reilly :)

Hey Dee- I live in the city now. I got a cute apartment & It's great! You'd luv it. I hope you had a good birthday. I miss u lots. I'll come to visit u soon.

Luv, MELINDA

Hi Dalena,

I was writing in Mike's guestbook and stopped to visit yours too. I saw that no one has written for awhile, so I thought I'd say hi. I was telling Mike about how my friend Jeff would be turning 30 on Tuesday, and how crazy heaven must be with the three of you there. I hope you guys are having lots of fun!!



Take care of my boys for me, and keep looking down on those of us that are still on earth!!!

Happy Easter Dalena and to all who love her.

Hey there Dee...it's been over a year and I have your picture on the coffee table as a reminder of your presence. I'm gonna be stopping by to see u real soon. Hey guess what? I'm movin' to the city soon. I'm really excited. I wish you were here so you could visit and hang out. We could make fun of Midlo!!

P.S. I saw your friend Eric the other day at a bar. Small world huh?

It's a sadder world w/out ya hun. Miss U!!

LUV Melinda

To everyone who has the blessing of knowing Dalena:



Every child is a gift from our Lord. When you are sad and you feel the pain deriving from your stomach all the way slowly stuck in your throat, please start concentrating on believing that she is a child of God, and start Thanking our Lord, Jesus Christ our Saviour for the time that was bestow upon you for knowing her.



Simple: Thank you Lord for the time that I had with her. Consistently, I mean consistently repeat this to yourself and the pain will be turned inside out with comforting.



Jesus said: Blessed those who mourn; for they will be comforted.



May the Lord Bless You All that are hurting over her.



Again, I say she has Waves of Glory Washing over Her in the Presence of her Almighty Lord.



Lets celebrate for Easter is near and thank our Lord for knowing her.



Your Sister in Christ,

Joanne Lileks-Rosser

Hay Baby,

It's been a year and I feel like it was just yesterday I had to say good-bye. I love you so much it hurts. I went to see you. I'm bringing Gina on Sunday. I just want you to know how much I LOVE U Dee your my heart.



Love Your Sister,

Cory

Hey kiddo.

I was packing things away this weekend and found some pictures of you. I even have some of my favorite phase, the white lips and dark liner! They made me smile.



Thinking of you...

Love,

Bethie

Reminds Me of You



I miss you so much, I can't stand it

Seems like my heart, is breaking in two

My head says no but my soul demands it

Everything I do, reminds me of you



I miss you so much, in this house full of shadows

While the rain keeps pouring down, my window too

When will the pain, recede to the darkness

From whence it has come, and I'm feeling so blue



Dalena,

I can't belive that's it's been a year since I seen you last. I miss you more each and every day. I wish that you where here.



Love you,

Kellie

Dear Mandy,



My prayers are with you. If you can, please visualize Dalena singing with the Waves of Glory Washing over Her as she Praises our Lord-Jesus Christ.

Dalena,

One year has gone by that I have'nt heard your voice or seen your loving smile. I have been so lost with out you. Yesterday I really missed you. I did'nt have Robbie and it was so nice out. I was driving around. I believe you were there with me. I stopped at expresso love and they closed down! I thought I was going to cry. It made that feeling worse. We got pissed when it was closed. Now it's gone! Well, I'm getting married in one month. You better be there. i got this sweet memorial candle for you. It has your picture and a bouquet of flowers on the top. Your name, it says my bridesmaid in heaven. I'll have it lit at the ceremony and it will be at the head table at the reception. I know you wont miss it. Hey I can still have a conversation with you and know exactly what your going to say back to me. As long as that dont go away I'll be okay. I cant tell you how much I love you and miss you everyday. I will see you again one day. I would'nt want anyone else to be there waiting. Robbie turned 3 on the 10th. He is such a little boy now. I show him your picture all the time. I dont want him to forget you. I know your keeping an eye on him. And, I'm sure other people too.I hope you know how much you are loved Dalena. It's so great that everyone writes. I think it makes us feel a little better. I love you Dalena. I'll talk to you soon.

Love,

Lona

Hay Baby,

I'm so sorry I have not wrote yet but this is the first time I knew about this. So what do you think? I think it's really cool (kelly and Lona their great right) Well I just graduated from college who knew I am smart haha. Well sweetie I miss you so much I tell everyone about you so you will never be forgotten for the person you were. I still visit whenever I need your advise I mean who else would I come to. Little Adam turned 5 and he's getting so big. I know you were at his party so you saw all the gifts of course the spoiled brat. I missed you this Christmas and New Years I don't think we have ever had a year apart for any of them. I have a poem for you.



Our friend you will always be

For you will always be with us

In our hearts, in our soul, and in our dreams

We will never forget the times we shared together

We will all miss you forever

In heaven is where you are, but

That is not far

For you are wathcing over all of us

Now your soul,and personality will never leave us

We love you always, and forever

Someday we will be together

We will miss you more than ever but,

Some how we will pull together

Now that you are gone

Goodbye we will not say, for we

Will see each other someday



Dee I don't think anyone feels like me you were my life and I feel without you I'm kinda lost you were my right side of the brain for so long I feel I cannot make the right decision without your input. I just miss you so much and I never will stop. You were one of the greatest things in my life and you always will be, they just don't come any better then you. I will be writing you soon I'm so glad that I found this. Also thanks to all of you who wrote it just shows how many great people were in her life and surrounded her. Love to all of you.

LOVING YOU ALWAYS

Your Best Friend Forever

Your Sister,

Cory

Dear Mandy,



I wish you a very Merry Christmas. God loves you for you are very special to him. Think about Adam and Eve. Eve lost her son, Abell, Eve had to live on this earth for hundred of years after her lost. Be grateful, for you will be reunited with Dalena in a blink of an eye, as I will with Michelle.



I have a wonderful memory of Michelle at Christmas time and I wish you a wonderful memory of Christmas time with Dalena.



You are loved so much, hold on to that.



God Bless,



Joanne

This is the first Christmas with out you. And I miss you with all my heart. I will think of you most tonight on xmas eve. Because of all those years that we spent at the Olympic Star till early hours of the morning. I wish that you were here with me. My heart goes out to the Svehla family.. Merry Christmas my dear friend.



All my love to you I miss so much.



Love,

Kellie 12/24/2003

Dear Mandy,

It has been two years since Michelle died and it is still painful. I am so sorry for your loss. When the hurt comes to surface try to thank our Lord, Jesus Christ for the years that you had with Dalena. It is comforting to know that Dalena is with Grandma Lileks and with Michelle Lileks. No matter how much it hurts we must continue to love our Lord. God Bless You!

Hey Delana! Halloween is coming soon....I'll miss your funny costumes and all the parties we'd be going to. You are not forgotten. Luv Melinda

It's been too long and I'm lost without what am I going to do. I miss you..... Love you my friend always.... I wish you were here

Miss you each and every day with all my heart.

Love you Dalena

HEY "D", I hope you enjoyed your birthday and looked down on us for the 4th of July. It wasn't the same without you and it'll be difficult to celebrate my own birthday this year. I really miss you and everytime I see a ladybug in my house I see you and hear your voice. I love you and miss you very much. LUV Melinda.

Time has come, what's done is done
It's time to move on
To another place, another space,
maybe circling some other sun
Don't ask why, don't ask how
I still can't explain
To say goodbye, goodbye for now till I see you again

In the sunlight that's where I'll be
In the moon night close your eyes, you will see me
In the sunrise in the twilight
I'll be the morning and the evening star
I will be there with you wherever you are

Missing you every second of the day..

hey D.....it's Foley....i was just thinking of you, so i thought i would come let u know

Dalena,

Happy Birthday my dearest friend. Today is a special day for me. Many memories of this day remain in my thoughts. The laughter we use to share the good times. Today all of your friends will celebrate your birthday. I see you when I close my eyes that beautiful smiles of yours, was remarkable. In my heart you are always and never will be forgotten.



I love you Dalena

Your Best Friend Kellie

Happy Birthday Dalena.



We miss you and we love you.

In my dreams I see you

In my arms I want to hold you

In my soul is where you are

In my spirit I can feel you

In my heart is where you will stay

In my memories is where you will remain



Dalena,

Words can't desribe how much I really miss you. I am just lost without you. My days are sometimes a dream cause your not here. In my heart is where you are.



Always

Kellie

Anywhere Like Heaven



When I walk along your city streets

And look into your eyes

When I see that simple sadness

That upon your features lies

If my spirit starts to sink

It comes as no surprise

It's been a long way from anywhere

Like Heaven to your town, this town



There's a pasture in the countryside

I used to call my own

There's a natural pillow for my head

The grass there's overgrown

I think of that place from time to time

When I want to be alone

It's been a long way from anywhere

Like Heaven to your town, this town



Now, people live from day to day

But they do not count the time

They don't see the days slipping by

And neither do I



Now, people live from day to day

But they do not count the time (you know)

They don't see their days slipping by

And neither do I



When I walk along your city streets

And look into your eyes

When I see that simple sadness

That across your features lies (I see lies)

If my spirit starts to sink

It comes as no surprise

I've come a long way from anywhere

Like Heaven to this town, your town



James Taylor



I miss you everyday.

I didn't know Dalena that well, but she was a good friend of my boyfriend, Mike (Lefty), who also passed on recently.



When Mike heard about what happened to Dalena, he kept talking about how close she was to his dog Swag, who was put to sleep in December. I told him that he should then understand that Swag had to go first, so he could greet Dalena in heaven and they could hang out. It makes me feel better to imagine the three of them looking down on us all and having fun together.



My sincere condolences to Dalena's friends and family. May the thoughts of Dalena in heaven,spending time with those that love her that have also passed on, be a comfort to you. We all will meet again...

Here yesterday, gone today, see you tomorrow. Was happy, now I'm empty & sad. My heart is filled with sorrow.. So vibrant & full of a glowing spirit. How can you be gone? Sometimes I see your face smiling. Always laughing out loud...I can almost hear it. Someday we'll meet again. It'll be better than here my friend! Can't wait to see you- but soon I'll be there. We'll have so many stories to share. Your so special and not absent from my mind. You've left nothing but love & beauty behind.



Luv ya, MELINDA

Dalena-

I will miss your beautiful smile.And you just walking in my house so full of energy,you would always have a crazy story to tell.You left us all heartbroken.I Love you girl.i will see you again someday.

For Dalena.....

Time only proves to carry feelings beyond the space that time once encompassed.

The space you previously existed in remains only I can't watch that past unfold like thhe light that reaches the earth eons after that star died.

I can't reach the time you were here. I can't see the space you existed in, your energy changed and the molecules that make you up are no longer...

Like the hydrogen that created the spark of life, you lit up so many lives.

Your energy flows and the entropy that exists now heats up my heart.

I yearn for the moment I can feel the way your soul shines.

And I know now what I can't deny; I have breathed you in and you have become a part of me and I you, and we shall live forever within the energy that created all time.....

Dalena

These are the days that we remember. That fill me with laughter. Across are face these are the days. You remember how it was meant to be see the signs and know their meaning its true that you and I will always be with each other. Dalena its your time in eden now to see the gardens and the eternal light. Always in my soul you will be forever, in my heart are friendship was meant to be.

I was walking down the hallway at work and I seen Dalena. I said Dalena is that you and she said yes it is. I looked at her and I said I thought you where dead and she said I’m not dead my mom said that I did get into a bad car accident and that I was at my wake and when everyone left I sat up. And I am ok she told. She looked like she did three years ago bleached blond hair and a blue flannel on and khaki pants on. She told me that she was ok and she said that she was fine and was smiling and seemed happy. She told me I love u Kellie Reilly she would always tell me that. And then I looked and she was gone. Mandy was there too. 3/15/03



I think I may have been at Dalenas house and she was lying there in her casket . And she starting breathing and then she rolled over. She then got up and told me she was alive and okay. She looked like herself the same old Dalena. Then Mandy put on a video and it was pictures of her life since she was 12 and that is when I met her. And Mandy said I don’t know if you want to see this yet or not. But I wanted to see them it was really weird she was standing right next to me. And then she was talking to me but I don’t remember what she said either. Then I ended up jumping into a swimming pool and there all these colors it was like angles all over the place. And I could feel the water it was so cold. But the water was probably cold cause her hands where when I touched them. 3/17/03

Delana Amanda Svehla is no longer with us and I think about her on a daily basis. I see her face whenever I close my eyes and remember all of the funny things she'd say or do. She was a doll and I struggle with the reality that I will never be able to hang out w/ her again. However, I know that she is in a far better place.

* Well if I ever have a daughter..I know what her name will be. I LOVE YOU "D" !!!! your amiga MELINDA

Dalena was a very dear kid. I have know Dalena for the past nine or so years. I first met her whe she was just a spunky teenager. I loved her wild hair and black-lined pout. She always had an inner strength and charisma that could not be rivaled.

I was privledged to have had the opportunity to see her grow into an incredible young woman. I am glad that my daughter had the chance to know her. Dalena had bought Alexis her first elephant! (which has been used well for the past six years)

To her family and friends, I share in your saddness, knowing Dalena with be greatly missed. Dalena meant so much to so many. I wish her eternal peace and happiness. She deserves it.

Dalena...You will always hold a special place in my heart.

Love, Bethie
