Della M. Remines

Aunt Della thank you for everything. For teaching me about God and for every hug you gave me every single time I saw you. You will be missed by all. I love you.

Debbie, Robin and Jerry - My heart, my thoughts and my love are with you. I will miss your mom very much. She was like a second mother to Angie and I when we were growing up. Like her sisters who have recently departed from us, Annie and Lois; Della shared with them that special remarkable gift to which they shared with us all - love, laughter and grace. Above all else Della, like Annie and Lois shared that generous and unselfish devotion to family and friends. These gifts were a product of two remarkable people, Guy and Ina West. Their strength, love, values and character did not only pass down to their children but to a second and third gereration as well. It is something to be very proud of. I loved your mom and I shall miss her very much. I leave you with this special poem: I stood watching as the little ship sailed out to sea. The setting sun tinted her white sails with a golden light, and as she disappeared from sight a voice at my side whispered, “she is gone”. But the sea was a narrow one. On the farther shore a little band of friends had gathered to watch and wait in happy expectation. Suddenly they caught sight of the tiny sail and, at the very moment when my companion had whispered, “she is gone” a glad shout went up in joyous welcome, “Here she comes!” Love and hugs

She will be greatly missed. She was a wonderful and sweet lady. Along with her banana bread and apple cakes you can't forget the strawberry pies. I don't know where my dad and debbie will go to get butter anymore either (only some will understand). We will all miss her, but Debbie, remember she's having the best time ever right now with everyone in Heaven. There is no place better than where she is. Much love Jessica

MOMOM made the BEST biscuts and gravy. She knew just how to touch your heart and just with her cooking but with her smile and laughter. I agree with Jess I don't know where mom and dad will get butter or anything else they in a heart beat. Wish I could be there, but just know that y'all are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you guys. THAT IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! (that's for you mom)

Aunt Della- I'm going to miss you so very much. You reminded me so much of Mom-Mom with your humor, and never give up attitude. I'm so sorry I didn't get to see you before you passed, but now I get to keep my last memory of you alive in my heart and mind. We were standing outside after Aunt Lois' wake smoking a cigarette and just laughing about nothing at all. Don't stir up too much trouble in heaven. I love you and will miss you always. -Nicole
