Grandma,
We all loved you. We all showed it in different ways. We all carried you in our thoughts and in our hearts everyday. You were the glue that kept this family together. I hope you watch over us from Heaven and know that regardless of the way we live our lives and the decisions we will make, that you will remain proud us and love all of us the way you did when you were with us.

My heart goes out to your entire family.  Della is a wonderful woman who thought me true values that there are more things you can do than can't. 
She will be forever in my thoughts along with your wonderful family. May God bless you and keep you safe. 
Joseph (Joey) Gallegos

Marilyn,

Sorry for the loss of your loving mother. I can relate to the sorrow and pain that you are going through now. Your mother was a beautiful and sweet woman, as I remember her.

Please accept or condolences and deepest sympathy.

Love you always, 

Claudette and Anthony Griego

wisdom, she helped me through a lot of hard tough times and never once was she ever judgmental, I too can hear her say okay Mi Vida it will be okay ......

Grandma Della was our neighbor since I was a baby, to me she was family. She will be missed and never forgotten, till we meet agian!  God Bless the family my prayers are with you, Love Bonnie

I remember when I was little watching Grandma curl her hair and put on her makeup to get ready to go to work at the little store. I used to have to be so quiet because she was watching her soap operas.  To this day every time a soap opera is on TV I think of her. I will forever be thankful  for the love she gave us, the jokes, the tortillas, the ground beef & potatoes...  WE LOVE & MISS YOU, especially your professor...

My mom was always there for me..she was my best friend and we always got into trouble together but she always thought it was fun..now she is home with our Lord and her daughters and her cousin and friend all whom she loved very very much..God bless you mom.I will see you in my dreams..

My best memories are with my grandma, she helped my parents raise my brother Evan and I. I have learned a lot from her and the three of us were very, very close. I can hear her now "..Oh the hell with it!" She was a pistol, and i'll miss her dearly.

   Whan my wife passed (Mona) and I was having a hard time dealing with it, I would call Della and we would talk until I felt better, She was more than a mother-in-law, she was a friend. I will sorely miss her.

Great Aunt Della was my paternal grandmother's sister. My grandmother passed away when I was very young. Several years ago I asked Aunt Della if I could call her Grandma. I can still hear her voice saying, "Girl, I would be honored."  Grandma Della, it was always my honor.  I love and miss you more than you know.

Aunt Della was like a mother to me and my wife, and a grandmother to my daughters.  She will sorely be missed by us.

Our Auntie will be sadly missed, she left some wonderful memories. She will be with us everyday and not be forgotten. God Bless
