    To her family, friends and others that she touched in life and brought joy to I send my deepest condolences. I never saw my Aunt Della and Uncle Charles often but when I did they were people I did enjoy being around. Friendly, smiling and generous. I remember swimming too many laps in the pool one time late into the evening with Michael there at the house and I remember a good time at the cottage they made happen for my family which was something that has not happened since. I thank Aunt Della and Uncle Charles for being a part of my life even though it was not as often as for others but I can remember them and say they only brought happiness to my life. Thanks. May you rest in peace Aunt Della.
