Miss Dela. Always the life of the party and a shoulder to cry on. You will be terribly missed. Bless you.
Love you.
Steve Williams says
Dela was beautiful in more ways than one. I feel that much richer for having her as a church friend. My condolences and prayers are with her family. May His holy spirit comfort Dela’s family and may Dela rest in His eternal peace.
Rita Paris says
Dela brightened the room when she entered. Such a lovely lady with a beautiful smile. I’m so happy we met some 20 years ago and I will miss you! RIP. May your memory be eternal!
Gail Moon says
We really miss her terribly. We talked and/or texted all the time!
And we visited in the driveway for all these months.
All of us were looking forward to being able to be together again in church and ss and for our Sunday brunches and spur of the moment eat outs!
Our sadness should turn to joy because we know that Heaven is better than Alpharetta.
Much love to you Brian. You were the cherished light of her life. She loved you so very much and I’m so glad she saw you a lot in her last month on earth. Time with you meant so much to her.
Dela was a dear, close friend who was always there for Mom and me.
We love and miss her.😘😇
Joy Singleton says
We will miss Dela’s happy smile playing canasta and Mahjong in the neighborhood. It seems as if she was just getting really settled in her new home. We often saw Brian helping his mom with her many projects and enjoyed hearing her praise his efforts to assist her with everything. We pray for comfort for Brian and Dela’s family during this time.
