"I am so sad to see that Delma has her wings and is now with her mom and dad. I grew up with Delma in Audubon Park, graduated from the Park school and AHS Class of 1979 and we used to go Christmas caroling with Chris and then we would go back to my house and eat my moms Crisckies. Delma always told it straight and that was a good quality that I liked about her! Rest Easy Delma. Prayers for her family. God Bless Cheryl Cunningham LaSpada"
