Delaney Janea Clements

August 5, 2002 - March 21, 2016

The most beautiful fabulous dancing queen!

While she is no longer with us, Delaney is a bright shining light in the world that will outlast all of us. Her short time here on this Earth cannot be measured in years, although we all feel 13 was not nearly enough.

Delaney had no fear, she spent most of her energy making sure we were all okay and hiding her own pain with her brilliant smile.

That smile. It will be forever etched on our brains.

She became an emotional caregiver for other children hospitalized for treatment as well as a worldwide spokesperson for childhood cancer awareness. She would not be ignored! She invited all of us into her battle and allowed us into her most intimate moments, in the hope that things would change for other children. She was heard.

Delaney was a fashionista beyond the norm for a teenager. Even during her most trying times, you weren't going to catch her looking anything but fabulous. She had the most adventurous spirit, every day could be an exciting new experience with Delaney when you let her take the reins. She never said no at the idea of doing something new, it didn't matter if it was a simple task or even an errand, she made it fun. This was a trait directly inherited from her mother.

She was a dancer: any time, any place, she danced. Sometimes it was goofy and just for fun, but mostly she loved to choreograph and teach her friends and little sister, Emma Jo, the moves.

She taught us all a lot: how to love, how to laugh, how to open our hearts and mostly how to live every moment of our lives to the limit. She will never be forgotten, she made sure that was not a possibility, and therefore she will never truly be gone.

""There's always time for living

Can we just do it again?

One more time like it once was…

Way back when""

-Delaney's favorite song from ""Mr. Peabody and Sherman""

Delaney is survived by her mother, Wendy (Brandon) Reece; father, Patrick Clements, and Brittan Campbell; her siblings, Keenan Clements and Emma Jo Campbell, and thousands of people across the globe who are forever changed for having known her.

Services for Delaney are scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Saturday at Fellowship Church, 765 24 Rd., in Grand Junction. Delaney personally thanks you for not wearing black.
