Also thanks to Fairview Hospice who gave her the ability to die a peaceful and dignified death.

Candace – My mom saw your mom’s obituary in the paper today. I’m very sorry for your loss, especially in the week before Mother’s Day and in the midst of this pandemic. Know that you are often thought of and carried in prayers for peace and Hope. – Jeff
I worked side by side with Delite at the Federal Reserve Bank during the 80’s in the Human Resources department. I will never forget her -she was the nicest, most sincere person and took me under her wing like I was her daughter, I have thought of her often over the years and she will always hold a special place in my heart. She was so loved, by SO MANY! My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Joni
Thank you for the kind words Joni.
As I was growing up, I often heard kind words from others about my parents. At church, at school, and as with most of us as children, I never realized what a blessing that was. And I assumed that all other families had the same good parents. As I have aged I did realize belatedly what a gift had been bestowed on me, and told them so fortunately well prior to my parents passing. Your words ease her passing for me. Thank you. Jim, her loving son.
