I met Delilah early in life in the X-Ray lab at the Hospital for one of my many trips. Over the years, we got to be good friends as I also met her daughter, Paula, and became friends. When Delilah married Merrill Shaw, we became social friends & enjoyed both of them very much. Delilah was a classy woman & Merrill was a classy man. Together, they made a classy couple we enjoyed very much. Delilah was very proud of her two children, Paula & Rick, who are also classy people & friends of mine. You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. Sincerely, Dan Feuling
I knew Delilah during the many years she worked at the hospital and also later in her life when she lived at Kensington. She was such a beautiful woman and very gentle and kind. I always enjoyed talking with her. May you find healing from your loss in the memories of what a good woman she was and how she loved all of you. Mary Sharon Carr Peraud
