My deepest sympathy to the Swanson family! I have such fond memories of Delilah and her smile! I am so sorry for your loss and my prayers are being sent your way. She was truly a special lady and the world was blessed having her in it. Hugs & love to you all !
Bobby and family,
Delilah was such an amazing woman. I think of many words to describe her – mother,friend, hardworker,
Christian, caring for all uncondionally and that is just a very few. I can only imagine the card game that must be going on in Heaven now!
Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Nancy
