    So sorry for the loss of your mother. We are blessed with only one real mother and father and when they pass an empty spot develops, however, many fond memories will fill the void. God Bless both your families.

    Our hearts go out to the entire family. Delores Deitel and Peggy Barlau were “adopted” grandmothers to both Chris and Ben as they grew up across the street. A wonderful neighbor and friend. She will be greatly missed.
    “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

    To Delores’s families: I grew up down the road from you and you were on the same school bus as me. May your great memories help to carry you through this most difficult time.
