    My condolences to this amazing woman’s family. Della used to babysit me when I was very young. I have so many fond memories of her and my time spent with her. She helped to teach me love, respect for others and discipline. I still cook one of the dishes that she used to fix for me. There are so many of the little things that I remember like they happened yesterday because they are sweet memories that have remained in my heart through all these years. Della meant so much to many. She will remain in my heart always.
