To all my family in Chicago, my sincerest condolences. My mother Mary spoke of Aunt Delia often. It's nice to read the entries and learn how she touched your lives. I apologize for the late response. I just heard about it through my uncle Paddy in Westport, IE.

Wishing you all well.

The optimist will say "She's in a better place." The pessimist will say "It was just her time." I will be the realist and Smile and say "She'll always be with me." I will miss you Gram, may you Rest In Peace! The love and acceptance you have shown to all will live on through every one you have touched
