I would like to express my sympathy to you and your family. My dad,Ralph Gloss, was Delaris' cousin from Iowa. Galen and I and our three children enjoyed visiting Deloris, Pete, and Don on the ranch before Julie was born. After Aunt Edith Gloss Hewitt died I called and visited with Delaris on the phone. Even though we hadn't seen each other for years we still found many things to visit about. You are in my thoughts and prayers. She was a special lady. Pat Ducommun Marcus, IA 51035

Don, Shirly & Family, So sorry to hear of Delaris's passing. We were so glad that we got to spend a couple of evenings with you, Shirly and Delaris this past summer. We really enjoyed visiting and bringing Delaris up to date on all the friends and family around Lyndon. She had a good life. My dad (Edward Phelon) alway's felt like Deloris, Eleanor Phelon(Smith), Grace Phelon (Sandbloom), Laura Phelon(Regenold) were just like his sisters because they were so close to the same age and grew up together north of Lyndon. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Raylen, Karen & Emily Phelon

How blessed and thankful we are to have had "Dee" in our lives for all the years past. She was a wonderful lady and an inspiration to all of us. She will be sorely missed, but gratefully she has left an abundance of beautiful memories for all of us who knew her and loved her. May God grant His peace and comfort to all those who now feel the emptiness left in our lives. Elmer & Faith
