Dama,
I was just thinking about your mom awhile ago-I did not know she was sick and shocked to hear of her passing. I certainly will miss your mom's great cooking! She always had something good on the stove. Please know you are in my heart and prayers.
Love, The Bishop's

Sending my deepest sympathy to Delphine's daughter and family. "Heaven is the living memory of those who have touched our lives and have passed on" I know that Delphine is in Heaven because she touched so many lives. She was such a joy to work with through our Black Church Week of Prayer Programs and other DHEC programs. I am in shock.
