"I don't have the words to adequately express how special she was. I have countless memories of the time I spent with her as a little girl. She made the best banana nut bread I have ever eaten.

She was very important part of my life, and I am a better person because I knew her. My deepest sympathies go to the family especially her daughters. I am sorry I can't be there in person. I am thinking of you and your families during this time. I hope this time is not too difficult for you and that you can celebrate her life."

"Della and your family were very special to me when I met with the small group of friends on Sunday mornings, known as Greenville Bible Church. Della was a super encourager, an amazing cook, and always arranged for generous hospitality for me and others. We maintained our friendship over the decades and i particularly loved her written letters where she reflected on her past and always included a favorite hymn. A very special lady! Blessings and love to you all!"
