All of my thoughts are with the family. Del was a wonderful and kind man and he is going to be missed tremendously.
He was always there with a warm smile whenever I saw him.
Lydia, you were so very blessed to have had the time you did with him, and I pray for strength to help you through this.
God Bless <3
Del you will be greatly missed!!! I know you are in heaven and when our time comes we will have a wonderful reunion!!! I know you are with us in spirit!!! Love You!!
Dear Lydia (and family)
I cannot begin to express how very sorry I am at the passing of your Dad. I know how very close you were to him and the pain of losing a parent is unbearable. I know how I felt when I lost my father and I was much, much older than you. Please know how very much I care for you and will do whatever it may be that you need. You have always been such a wonderful young lady and that is a tribute to your upbringing by both your Dad and Mom. Love you much Lydia.
