I was a classmate of Delaney\’s and felt very close to the family. A large, loving family with a wonderful mother. She gave me bulbs and cuttings when I built my home. Sorry I cannot be at the funeral. My sympathy goes to the family.
For sure about all of us have relocated to other areas and consequently have lost touch with one another and that`s a shame. I remember some of you as we were from 1946 to 1956. I remember hunting with some of you boys especially with Leland and hitch hik
We are so sorry to hear of DD\’s passing.
He was a great neighbor. And very nice man. Look to the Lord for your strength he will never leave your side.
Barbara:
May the Peace of God surround your family and keep you in the knowledge your Dad has \"gone home\" to be with his Lord. Take Care and God Bless you all.

We may walk a desert pathway, but the end of the journey is the Garden of God
