Here we are almost 7 years later and not a day goes by without me thinking of you. 

Every time that I visited Tampa - YOU were the highlight of my visit. Spending time with you, learning from you,  watching tv with you, discussing what would be come my life lessons with you. All of those things stay with me. From not discussing politics and religion at work way before I got my first job, to minding my business (daily reminder!), to keeping kitty litter and a blanket in my car because I will never know when I will need it.  

I miss seeing you show me what you created after seeing it on TV or in a magazine (and sending my dad to get the supplies). Your intelligence, humor and care stay with me daily. 

I miss  coming to your house and leaving with a book from your reader's digest collection . You saw my love of reading and just fertilized it over the years.-- my dad was kind enough to give me a bookshelves worth of your books, so I get to feel like I have a part of you with me daily.  You were my second grandma... you are the person I keep in my heart.

Anywho... I am rambling here so I will end with this. They say the pain from loss gets easier with time... I'm not sure that's true. I guess we accept it but when the pain hits, it hits like it was the first day. When the memories of joy hits, it lights up my heart like it was real time. I still miss you, Aunt Dell. You're still my favorite person. I will love you forever and thank you for ever.

Our heartfelt sympathies are extended to the family and friends. May you find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

The angels looked down  from heaven one night. They searched for miles afar,and deep within the distance they could see  a shining star.                            They knew that very instant that the star was theirs to gain so they took you up to heaven forever to remain.                                                                              Look down on us from heaven keep us free from hurt and pain,You'll always  be within my heart  until we meet again.

I love you aunty, you will always be in our hearts and never forgotten.

I really appreciate all that was done to help out the family when Richard and I were young. All of my memories of you will never be forgotten. I love you

"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered. " come to me." A golden heart stopped beating hard working hands at rest.  God broke our hearts only to prove us that he only takes the best."  

Aunt Dell.... you will always be in my heart, in my prayers, and in my thoughts. There won't be a single day that when I come home I won't think of you....from your twenty pineapples in the entryway...to the home sweet home sign above the door..your sweet rocking chair on the front porch...and the shelves you created that I have in Ezekiel's room...these things remind me of you everyday. You were a great Aunt to all of us pickneys. You will always remain here with us. 

God is one lucky man to have you as his Angel. I hope your enjoying heaven. It's deff better than this crazy  world we live in. 

I'm sorry that you had to go through pain with diabetes. I wish I could take that away.  I wish you were here. I wish I could have brought you Ezekiel so that you could have met him. I love you and I will see you in heaven. Until then I know you will watch over the entire family. 

You will never be forgotten. 

Amen.

Aunt Dell, you will be missed. I have faith you are resting and enjoying eternity. Te amo para siempre.

To my Foster Family, let's keep her memories alive and celebrate her by remembering her uniqueness and love.

To The Foster Family :                                                       I just wanted you to know how deeply saddened I was on Dahlia's passing.She was a great person .I will miss her greatly and she will be in my thoughts and prayers always. You have my sincere sympathy.
