Del was a good man–kind and generous and a blessing to his family and his community. We miss him, and we feel lucky to have known him.
We loved him very much! He was a great friend and we will miss him more than words can say.
I am sorry for your loss. I had known Del for only six years, but he was a man you loved instantly. The world has lost a wonderful person.
Glenna, I wanted to express my sympathy for the loss of your Dad. I am so sorry. You are too young to lose a parent and I understand how hard that can be. I remember you as a little girl when you and Shauna used to hang out. Hang in there, Glenna. It does get easier to bear. I wish you peace. ~Leslie
