Our condolences to Del's family. She was one tough lady and my Mom was lucky enough to spend years of friendship and lots of time on the golf course learning colorful new terms for shanked shots. Her loyal friendship and huge heart will always be remembered.

Peace to Delphine and all her loved ones.

Delphine knew what to believe, she believed in her Family and God. She knew what to desire, the love from children. She knew what she ought to do, embrace everyone she ever met.

The things that we love tell us what we are.
